So, I started to use orgmode for writing the documentation for my latest software project. This means, that I have code blocks and lots of special characters in my document. I will have to export this whole file to LaTex/pdf, so my colleague can bind it into his project documentation and this is exactly where my problems are. First of all: how can I turn of the need to manually stop the code execution for code blocks when exporting? I have the single line src_bash{} blocks but also the multiline versions:

#+begin_src bash :
#code
#+ends_src

The next thing is, that my function names include underscores, which in orgmode translates to making the following text lowercase. I tried using \ to escape it, but that only breaks it in a new way and I seriously cant comprehend how this so called zero width space is supposed to be used.
