By "strong" I mean that it will work unconditionally. '=verbatim=' does not fit the bill. It fails, for example, in =[[0]]=. Same for goes for '~verbatim~'.

  • Oddly enough, links inside code or verbatim sections are indeed exported without processing, even when displayed as links in the Org Mode buffer.

  • @Juancho, thanks, but I am interested in how things display in the org mode buffer. There are times when I want to be able to use double square brackets without meaning them as links. E.g. in an inline code expression of the form a[[0]].

I don't have a clean solution but the below hack works.

You basically break the matching for org links by introducing invisible zero-width spaces inbetween. For example, ZWS below is where I insert the zero-width space unicode character. You can do so by doing C-x 8 RET 200b RET. 

=[​ZWS[0]]=

I have tested it to work for both html and pdf exports using org-mode version 8.3.2.
