Underscore within highlighted inline code in certain contexts causes problems for LaTeX output.

[mpark]

pandoc 2.7.3

Given:

~~`foo_bar`{.cpp}~~

Generated LaTeX:

$ pandoc foo.md --to latex
\sout{\mbox{\VERB|\NormalTok{foo_bar}|}}

Problem generating PDF:

$ pandoc foo.md --output foo.pdf
Error producing PDF.
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
                $
l.92 \sout{\mbox{\VERB|\NormalTok{foo_bar}|}}

[mpark]

Also the case within title:

---
title: "`foo_bar`{.cpp}"
---

Generated LaTeX:

$ pandoc foo.md --to latex --self-contained
# ...
\title{\VERB|\NormalTok{foo_bar}|}
\date{}

\begin{document}
\maketitle

Problem generating PDF:

$ pandoc foo.md --output foo.pdf
Error producing PDF.
! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
                $
l.91

[mpark]

In both cases, escaping the _ in the LaTeX source seems to solve the problem.

To be clear: this is not generally a problem, it just occurs when the highlighted code is embedded in strikeout or occurs in a title (perhaps other contexts as well, but in most contexts this works).

[mpark]

Yep, I've updated the title. It seems like verb has trouble being passed to other commands: https://truonglatex.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/stack-size-limit-error-with-hyperref/

Seems like this may have been the cause in #5574.

I'll transfer this to skylighting, since the escapes need to be added there. (I found some other missing escapes too.)
