You can make words *bold*, /italic/, _underlined_, =verbatim=
and ~code~, and, if you must, ‘+strike-through+’. Text
in the code and verbatim string is not processed for Org mode specific
syntax, it is exported verbatim.
To turn off fontification for marked up text, you can set
org-fontify-emphasized-text to nil. To narrow down the list of
available markup syntax, you can customize org-emphasis-alist. To fine
tune what characters are allowed before and after the markup characters, you
can tweak org-emphasis-regexp-components. Beware that changing one of
the above variables will no take effect until you reload Org, for which you
may need to restart Emacs.
