inserting a path string fires the italic formatting

inserting a path string fires the italic formatting

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
this could be trivial, but if I have to place a unix path name into my
org text, without having a link, how can I prevent the mode to assume
I'm doing italic formatiing?
For instance in the text:
   - check /usr/bin/chmod
   - check /usr/lib/bla

I got italic from the first slash to the last slash in the second line.
Suggestions?

Thanks,
Luca

For example, by "protecting" those paths, declaring them as `org-code' or
`org-verbatim', that is using the markers `=' or `~'; for example:

- check ~/usr/bin/chmod~
- check ~/usr/bin/bla~

Looks like Emacs backup files somewhere in a user's home directory ;-)

Thanks,
using the = symbol makes it looking less strange that a ~ (for the
backup, home directory, and so on).
