I have an interesting problem which defies an answer (as far as I can see).
I need to have backslashes (\) appear in my text, but I can't seem to
make the \verb{} environment work in LaTeX. Even if that would work,
the font changes to \tt and in a figure this looks bad.
Is there a simple way to remove the magic connotations from the \ ?

Just remember that \backslash must go in math mode. Also, from the looks of your posting, you misunderstand \verb. It isn't delimited by { }, but by a pair of any character, which mustn't appear in the text. \verb!like this! or \verbQthisQ or\ldots. It is unique in that. -- Michael Pereckas * InterNet: m-pereckas@uiuc.edu * just another student... (CI$: 72311,3246) Jargon Dept.: Decoupled Architecture---sounds like the aftermath of a tornado
