Groff formatting

Question

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? Please help me.

Answer 1

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

And there is .nh for »no hyphenation«.

Answer 2

For me, writing \\ as a sort of escape sequence works fine and outputs a singe backslash "\".
