Hi all,

I want to have the | symbol as part of the text in one table cell (because in one column I have absolute values of a certain function and I want to use |f(x)| in the header of that column).
But all the | symbols are interpreted as columns separators (as usual).
putting a backslash in front of it did not work (as well as several other optimistic attempts).
I have searched for a while unsuccessfully in the documentation and on the web for this.

Thanks in advance,
Orri

If you want to export the table you can use  \vert 

otherwise, I think you have to write abs[f(x)]
or something equivalent  ;-)

cheers,
