How to escape "$" in R markdown and slidify it?
When write some notes in R Markdown, I need to escape the dollar sign, making sentence within two dollar sign not a formula.
I have tried \$ blah blah blah \$ and \\$ blah blah blah \\$ or even <p>$ blah blah blah </p>$.
What works is `$`. But I don't want to highlight it.
ps: I want to slidify it, so both \$ and \\$ don't work.
Answer
You just need to use backslashes \ to escape, not forward slashes:
Line with $\text{Math:} \frac{3}{4}$.
Line with \$ escaped dollar signs \$.
