As we should have realised by now, some symbols have specific meaning in LaTeX. Symbols such as $, {, % are reserved as part of LaTeX commands (exercise: make sure you know what they are used for), and they are not among the unusual symbols. We might want to actually print the dollar symbol, for instance. How do we do this?
just add “\” in front of them.
- \$ for $
- \% for %
- \left{ for {
- \right} for }
and so on…
