how to display \\

Post by 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!

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!
