I am trying to format a URL using the url
package. My URL has a dollar sign ($) in it.
This line
\url{\\000.000.000.00\ Redirected$ \DBLocker}
compiles correctly and the result is what I want.
However, the text editor in Texmaker
highlights everything after the dollar sign (until the end of the document!) in green (eg. math mode format) which is obviously very annoying .
I can't just add another dollar somewhere to close math mode as it isn't actually open, so the .tex
file wouldn't compile!
It's as if Texmaker
doesn't appreciate that $ signs are not escaped in URLs.
Things I have tried:
- Escaping the dollar sign with a backslash. This doesn't work as the backslash shows in the URL.
- Using
\textbackslash
and similar. Also doesn't work, they appear as literal strings in the URL.
Any suggestions?
