Inline code in org-mode

Markdown allows for embedded code. How can this be done in org-mode?

I know about source-code blocks:

#+begin_example
blah-blah
#+end_example

But what I want is something like this (obviously, with the right syntax, which I do not know):

This is `embeded code`.

Can this be done in org-mode? Not possible to find that in the documentation ...

Solution

  • You can enclose the text within = or ~ signs to have it typeset in monospaced font and export it verbatim (which means it is not processed for org-specific syntax):

    This is =verbatim text= or ~code~.

    You'll find all information about org-mode markup elements in the relevant section of the manual.
