python - Escaping dollar sign in ipython notebook

Question

I have a markdown cell in iPython that contains four dollar signs. iPython interprets anything between dollar signs as a MathJax expression, which is not what I want. How do I escape the dollar signs? Escaping them with a backslash prevents MathJax from kicking in, but the backslash shows in the compiled Markdown.

ANy ideas on how to get just the dollar sign?

Thanks

Answer 1

Put two backslashes in front of dollar signs. For example:

Some prices: \$3.10, \$4.25, \$8.50.
