The Use Of Backslashes In Equation Editor |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: In the Equation Editor, there is a \ (backslash) command which tells WP to interpret the commands that follow as a literal. For example, "a OVER b" would normally print the fraction "a/b"; but "a \OVER b" prints "a OVER b." This is covered in the 5.1 manual on p. 199. The backslash basically tells the Equation Editor not to interpret the following command. This is helpful when wanting to utilize an actual character, not the character graphically created by the program. To do this, one would simply add a backslash before the character. Using the \ will indicate that the character is no longer interpreted. Because it is no longer interpreted, it will printed as an ASCII character rather than a character from the special character sets. |
