Hello sometime in a text like that:

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{graphicx}


\setdefaultlanguage{greek}
\setotherlanguages{english}

\setmainfont{Liberation Serif} 
\newfontfamily\greekfont[Script=Greek]{Arial}
\newfontfamily\greekfontsf[Script=Greek]{Arial}
\setmainfont[Kerning=On,Mapping=tex-text]{Arial}

\title{Tο μικρό γλυκό πρωτόκολλο WPA-PSK}
\date{}
\author{Τσακ Νόρις}

\begin{document}

   \maketitle

   \chapter{Επίθεση σε οικιακό δίκτυο Wi-Fi που χρησιμοποιεί WPA2-CCMP-PSK}
   \section{Εργαλεία Επίθεσης}
   Προκειμένου να εκτελεστεί η επίθεση, χρησιμοποιήσαμε το εργαλείο \texttt{airchack-ng} σε \texttt{Kubuntu Linux 16.04 lts}. Λαλαλαλα θα τα σπάσω όλα. Για να γίνει πρέπει να αντικαταστήσετε το \texttt{\^NETWORK\_BSSID\^} με το BSSID του δικτύου σας στην εντολή \texttt{i\_crack\_them\_all}.
\end{document}

Usually I use the marking ^SOME_DUMMY_PARAMETER^ to use as parameter fill ins when I put commands into documentation. But is rendered like that bssid render. I would like to be able to render it in a form ^BSSID^ do you know how I sould do that?

  • you can input as \string^BSS\string_ID\string^ but check the answer –  Apr 17 '18 at 14:35
  • @campa I don't see that they're asking for different things. The title asks for ^ and _ to lose any special meaning (as they have in LaTeX by default) and be rendered as normal characters from the font. The body asks for the same: to be able to type ^SOME_DUMMY_PARAMETER rather than \_ and \^ (or \textasciicircum or \string^ or whatever). – ShreevatsaR Apr 17 '18 at 17:16

Generally ^ and _ are used for superscripts are subscripts (in mathematics). If you're typing a document without mathematics, or if you don't need any mathematics (or at least superscripts and subscripts) in a certain region of your document, then you can put:

\catcode`\_=12
\catcode`\^=12

(Put it within \begingroup ... \endgroup if you want to restrict the scope.) For your example:

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{libertine}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{graphicx}


\setdefaultlanguage{greek}
\setotherlanguages{english}

\setmainfont{Liberation Serif}
\newfontfamily\greekfont[Script=Greek]{Arial}
\newfontfamily\greekfontsf[Script=Greek]{Arial}
\setmainfont[Kerning=On,Mapping=tex-text]{Arial}

\title{Tο μικρό γλυκό πρωτόκολλο WPA-PSK}

\catcode`\_=12
\catcode`\^=12

\begin{document}

   \maketitle

   \chapter{Επίθεση σε οικιακό δίκτυο Wi-Fi που χρησιμοποιεί WPA2-CCMP-PSK}

In your example, replacing \^ with \textasciicircum gives the effect you want. Note that I had to comment out the lines referring to the 'Arial' font, as I don't have it.
