LaTeX provides an environment called "verbatim". Everything between
\begin{verbatim} and \end{verbatim} appears as typed in typewriter font.
LaTeX also provides a \verb|...| macro which is useful for in-line verbatim
text, but verbatim is probably what you need for your application.
Look at latex.tex to see how these are defined.
