Text Formatting ⇒ "normal" writing in Latex

[JMKD]

Hey, I am a new user and I really need your help.

How can I write sth in LaTeX so that it won't be changed at all when its f.ex. converted into pdf

f.ex. lets say I want to write this here ${4!}+\frac{(\ln 4)^7}{7!}$ so that it will look just like that on the pdf (I mean - it will NOT be changed into a fraction ect). I know, I could do it by e.g. placing "\" before "$" and then it will just display "$" on my pdf rather than begin a new environment. But it would be a lot of work to do that kind of stuff every time. Is there a way to "write normally" in latex?
Sth like \begin{x} here we place what we want to be "normally written" \end{x}??
I would be really grateful for any help!

Hi,

your could use \verb or the verbatim environment:

Code: Select all

\begin{verbatim}
...
\end{verbatim}
