Text Formatting ⇒ Showing verbatim code

[coachbennett1981]

This is bugging me, so simple, yet I don't know how to do it. I am working on a presentation and I want to show LaTeX code in the document without actually creating what I am typing. For example,

To show a displayed fraction we use the \frac command. How do I show just what I type \frac. and not have to put \frac{a}{b}.


Arghh.

Hi Nick,

you could use the \verb command for simple small code examples, or the listings or the showexpl package which offer many features for typesetting code.
