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…
ho ho ho, re-started your blog. i’ll be honest, didn’t read the latex stuff :/ that’s more of pakcik’s kind of thing
oh LaTeX is a mathematician’s friend… it is probably too boring for Pakcik as those are freaky basic stuff… saja nak bagi ada benda sikit kat blog… anyway how is aussie? freeze n snow?
it’s really nice actually. it never snows in australia, i think. winter is just more rain, but at least it’s not like UK rain. kind of a mix between malaysian and UK rain hm. i’ll probably write about it in my blog at some point.
