Hi, just to point out a slight amendment to Takeshi's advice in this specific 
case: add a backslash after the LaTeX command name (here \LaTeX).

    .. |latex| raw:: latex

       \LaTeX\

    hello |latex| world

or in place of \LaTeX\, use\LaTeX{}

This is due to well-known to LaTeX users behaviour of "\command<space>"

(rest mark-up use \<space> to suppress a space, LaTeX mark-up uses \<space> to 
force a space... in the substitution the contents is taken over literally and handed over 
as is to the produced LaTeX file, so we must obide therein by the rules of LaTeX mark-up)

You can do it with raw directive and substitution::

     .. |latex| raw:: latex

        \LaTeX

     hello |latex| world

But the LaTeX is only shown on LaTeX output. If you want to see it on
other outputs, any extension might be needed.

Thanks,

If I use the string "\LaTeX" in an reST document and run it through Sphinx's latex builder, it 
strips the leading backslash, so if I run it through Sphinx's pdf builder, I just get the text 
"LaTeX". I would instead like to use the command "\LaTeX", which produces a nicely 
typeset LateX symbol. Is there any way to do this?

To be honest, I know one way, but it is hacky: use something like \hbox{\LaTeX} 
within math mode. But there is the broader question of how to use LaTeX 
commands which are not supposed to be in math mode. Suggestions?
