According to the documentation, the following setting enables subscript only in the form like ‘a_{b}’.

  (setq org-use-sub-superscripts nil)

However, in 'a_b', 'b' is still exported as subscript. How to export '_' as underscore?

According to the documentation in org-mode 8.2.10 the option that controls the export is org-export-with-sub-superscripts and not org-use-sub-superscript.

The the curly bracket syntax has effect only on display. If you have complex sub/superscripts or have filenames with underscore (_), set org-use-sub-superscript to {}.

As pointed out in the other answer, the variable that affects export is org-export-with-sub-superscripts. Put this into your emacs config file and evaluate it for immediate effect:

(setq org-export-with-sub-superscripts nil)

or to set it only for the current buffer by adding the following line to the beginning of the file and activate it with C-c C-c.

#+OPTIONS: ^:nil

  • If you want to disable it, you must set it to nil, not t.

  • That's right, I corrected the the option ^ to nil.
