Quoting latex code

Quoting latex code

[andrea]

I want to do something which I think should be really simple.
I'm writing a small guide of latex for org-users, useful for people
working with me that don't know latex but must insert some symbols in
org-files.

So I want to create simple tables where I insert the symbol and the
output.
But however I insert \phi|\pi|whatever it gets always transformed into
the symbol when exporting to pdf.

(also \mbox doesn't work)
How could I do to get something like this:

literal(\phi) -> \phi

Without possibly having to write some
#+BEGIN...
Thanks

Nice thanks, I didn't see it in the doc..
Anyway in the table I still have troubles, when I write this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
| \pi  | #ERROR |
|      |        |
#+TBLFM: $2=\pi=
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So writing =\something= is interpreted as the formula for that cell,
should I maybe just not use a table?

You can also write ~\pi~

Ok thanks.

Anyway I'm putting into that small guide all the things I found useful
for my works, maybe someone else could be interested.

Here you find it:
