getting a tilde into LaTeX export

getting a tilde into LaTeX export

[Eric Abrahamsen]

I'm sure this has been answered many times but I can't find it…

I want to get a tilde into my LaTeX export -- not a LaTeX-escaped tilde,
but a plain tilde, that will turn into a small non-breaking space in
LaTeX. Everything I've tried in org exports as either "\~" or "\~{}" in
LaTeX, where all I want is plain "~". Can someone help me out?

Thanks,
Eric

hello \nbsp goodbye

=> hello ~ goodbye

Although I can't figure out a way of having no extra whitespace
on both sides of the ~.

Thanks for all the quick answers! \nbsp{} did the trick perfectly.
