I have a problem when exporting org-mode buffers to html. The following table is not properly exported:

|-------+----------------+----------|
| HOST  | DB             | COMMENTS |
|-------+----------------+----------|
| rhea  | numbering_test |          |
| rhea  | phones         |          |
| dione | phonenumbers   |          |
| dione | numbering_test |          |
|-------+----------------+----------|

The problem is that the underscore tells the HTML exported to use subscripts. This is not what I want. I want numbering_test to appear like normal text.

The same problem when using those kind of identifiers embedded inside normal text, like this:

The numbering_test database is too big.

Again the same problem with the HTML exporter.

Is there a way to tell the HTML exporter to put some text in raw mode, as provided, without adding extra HTML formatting to it?

Markdown (as used here in StackOverflow) has the very useful backticks to embed raw code inside normal text. I need something similar for org-mode.

    There are directives for org-export so it ignores the underscore as a subscript.

    http://orgmode.org/manual/Export-options.html#Export-options

    The one you are interested in is

    #+OPTIONS:     ^:nil

    which instructs the exporter to only sub/superscript text within explicit {...} brackets.

    You can insert the whole template via the export dispatcher: C-c C-e t. Then you change/remove as will, and C-c C-c to refresh settings.
