Someone waltzed into my office the other day and asked,
"How do I get a caret symbol as part of a \section title?,
When I use {\tt ^} I have problems, I can't use \verb, I can't use
\^ since that means something else"
Now, we solved the problem by \chardef\caret`\^ but it occurred to me
that the LaTeX manual ought to be exhaustive in telling the user how to
reproduce _each_ special character without having the special effect.
I couldn't find this one in the index. Have you seen it? How do _you_ handle
this problem?
