How to use $ in text?

Using Streamlit
1

Summary

I have text with a $ sign that
is across several lines
so it looks like this.

st.write uses $ as formatting and I can’t figure out how to get the $ to show

st.text includes tabs in the st page because of the \

Steps to reproduce

Code snippet:

st.write("sdfgsdf dsfsdf $ sdfsdfsfds $ \
sdfsddfsdfsd \
sdfsddfdsf")

st.text("sdfgsdf dsfsdf $ sdfsdfsfds $ \
sdfsddfsdfsd \
sdfsddfdsf")

If applicable, please provide the steps we should take to reproduce the error or specified behavior.

Expected behavior:

I would like text that has no tabs in it and can show a $ without using it as formatting.

Actual behavior:

Prepend a backslash to the “$” character.

st.write("sdfgsdf dsfsdf \$ sdfsdfsfds \$ \
sdfsddfsdfsd \
sdfsddfdsf")

st.write("sdfgsdf dsfsdf \t sdfsdfsfds \t sdfsddfsdfsd ")

How to insert tab spacing \t does not seem to work.
Any suggestions please…
