#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
* The variable ~JAVA_HOME~
…
#+END_EXAMPLE
Exporting this to LaTeX and then compiling to PDF, produces the
following error:
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.35 \section{The variable \verb~JAVA_HOME~}
Apparently, \verb is not allow in command arguments:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=verbwithin
One solution is uses \cprotect:
\cprotect\section{The variable \verb~JAVA_HOME~}
I don’t know how the exporter works but I wouldn’t be surprised if it
wasn’t entirely trivial to implement this.
The problem also exists in other situations where ~verbatim~ is used in
embedded contexts, for example when used in link descriptions:
[[https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=JAVA_HOME][Google
~JAVA_HOME~]]
Is there anything that speaks against using \texttt for ~verbatim~? The
HTML exporter uses the code tag for ~verbatim~ and =code=.
