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 <<EOF
> Print \\hello \\world
> EOF
Print \hello \world

Answer 1

As an alternative to what Dennis mentions The command sed can also take care of this.

sed 's/\\/\\\\/g' <<EOF
Print \\hello \\world
EOF

Answer 2

Quote the beginning here document marker:

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