Changing the Escape Character
Syntax $escape character$$

Description
The backslash, \, is the default escape character. This command changes the escape character to the first character in character (not counting leading white space ).

Example
If you want to display a backslash in math mode, it is useful to change the current escape character from its default value (backslash). For example, the input 
 
	$escape #$$
	$math%
		#Test #of #escape:
		    / 1  0  0 \
		I = | 0  1  0 |
		    \ 0  0  1 /
	%$$
would result in the following output
     Test of escape:
         / 1  0  0 \
     I = | 0  1  0 |
         \ 0  0  1 /

Reference
The escape command has effect till the next such command is executed or the end of the current section (which ever comes first).
