General ⇒ how to display \\

[lasalle25]

I need to display a double slash, but don't know how to make LaTeX understand that I don't want a line break. Help, please!

Hi Lasalle,

welcome to the board!
Some possible options are:

Code: Select all

\textbackslash\textbackslash

Code: Select all

$\backslash\backslash$

Code: Select all

\verb|\\|

Thank you! I had figured out the math mode solution, but that wasn't really what I wanted. Didn't know about \textbackslash. Thank you much!
