4.4 Entering Special Characters

     

Special characters can be entered as text by using the back-slash convention (\). (This technique is compatible with ANSI C escape codes.) The most common use of this is to explicitly force a new line in a text cell by entering \n. Other useful ones are \" which allows the double quote character within a string and \\ which allows the back-slash character.
