Output a backslash in groff, also avoiding hyphenation


How groff can output \ symbol in my text, do not reading this symbol as a macro? And how to prohibit dividing words with a dash (hyphenation)?


Solution

  • You can get a printing version of the backslash with \e according to the manpage.

    And there is .nh for »no hyphenation«.
