here document and double backslash

Question

If I use a here document in a shell script that contains multiple backslashes '\', the shell translates it into a single backslash. Can I work around this without changing the text ? ``` $ cat < Print \hello \world > EOF Print \hello \world ```

Accepted Answer

Quote the beginning here document marker:

```
cat <<'EOF'
Print \hello \world
EOF
```
