Displaying the $ Character
Syntax $dollar character$$
See Also cmark , rmark , wspace

Description
All subsequent occurrences of the first character in character are converted to the dollar sign character; i.e., $. There can be no $ characters in character. In addition, leading trailing white space in character is ignored.

Example
The text that you see in the frame above this one was generated by the following commands: 
 
	$begin dollar$$
	$escape #$$
	$spell 
		mindex
		cend
		mref
		cmark
		rmark
		wspace 
	$$
	$dollar @$$

	$index @$$
	$mindex display dollar #sign character$$

	$section Displaying the @ Character$$

	$table
	$bold Syntax$$
	$cend $syntax/@dollar /character/@@/$$ $rend
	$cend $mref/cmark/rmark/wspace/$$
	$tend

	$fend 15$$


Reference
Characters in the index and other commands are also converted. For example, 
 
	$index @$$
in the example above, is an index command corresponding to the $ character.

The dollar command has effect till the next such command is executed or the end of the current section (which ever comes first). The command 
 
	$dollar $$
removes the effect of the current dollar command without providing a new character that is converted to the dollar sign.
