needed variable stands for command

[howdy]

i need to type in an equitation with the variable "im" for imports.
unfortunately the "im" stands for imaginary part. this means
that its replaced by the symbol. how i can i write "im"?

Just like you did in the post above: quoted.

If you want it in italics (as is the default for data labels in Math), use the ital modifier.
ital "im"

thanks for the fast reply.
don´t know why i haven´t tried
to write it quoted before..
