latex escape chars

Question

Hi,

I want to prepare a text for the use in a LaTeX document. I wrote a SQL Function which does a lot of REPLACE. For example "_" -> "_" and so on.

But there are so many special chars and sometimes I get errors... Does anyone know a sql-function or a java package for escaping text to LaTeX?

Answer 1

Use a verbatim environment or the listings package, then you can enter source code without escaping.

Answer 2

There are only 10 special chars: \ { } _ ^ # & $ % ~.
