In org mode, if I want to format text a monospace verbatim, i.e. ~...~, if it is inside quotes: ~\"...\"~, it is not formatted (left as is).
Finally, I found a solution from http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/82571
According to that thread, the regexp for verbatim is built from variable org-emphasis-regexp-components, which defines legal characters before, after, at the border of, or in the body of emphasis; and verbatim is one of the emphasis environment in org mode.
A workable setting given by that thread:
(setcar (nthcdr 2 org-emphasis-regexp-components) " \t\n,")
(custom-set-variables `(org-emphasis-alist ',org-emphasis-alist))
