Question

A way to show the backslash, square-bracket.

e.mccormick · Answer

Use the accent that is on the same key as ~.

`$\LaTeX$`

doc.brown · Answer

~$$\LaTeX$$'$$\LaTeX$$\`$$\LaTeX$$???

e.mccormick · Answer

One on each side of the $\LaTeX$ code block.
```
`$\LaTeX$`
```

doc.brown · Answer

`$$\LaTeX$$`
HAZAAAH!

e.mccormick · Answer

The use of ``` on a single line above and below larger code blocks also does the code highlighting, and code blocks override $\LaTeX$.

doc.brown · Answer

`$$can =it+do$$$$multiple\times lines?$$`
yup

doc.brown · Answer

```
$$can =it+do$$
$$multiple\times lines?$$
```
I see, thanks a bunch!

e.mccormick · Answer

The code highlighting system was built for programming:

```
def function(int i):
    for x in range(i):
        print x+1

function(5)
```

But it works well for $\LaTeX$ too.  Just don't be surprised if you see the code highlight colors at times.

Nope.  It would be:
1
2
3
4
5

Hehe.  Range starts at 0 and goes 1 less than what is put in.

doc.brown · Answer

I've forgotten the rules of more programming languages then I can remember.

e.mccormick · Answer

I get that.  I started with ROM based BASIC, learned some ASM, C, and Pascal (Not much), and don't use them at all.  Know an OK amount of C++, Python, and Java.  But try and do anything with Pascal and about all I remember is that statements end in ; and the program must have a defined begin and end.
