How to type a spacing in Matlab latex

I am writing comments for "publish" as the following:

 % $Apply~Lax-Friedrichs\ to\ nonlinear\ Lighthill-Whitham-Richardson\ traffic\ flow\ problem$
%
% $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial}{\partial x}[uv(u,x)] = 0$
%
% $where\ the\ v(u,x) = v_0(x)(1-\frac{u}{c})$

it's really annoying typing space between words by using "\" as shown in the text. Is there anyway I can do this?

Hi Sijie, You may try putting the formula only in between the $ symbols. You may put the texts outside of the $ .. $. However if you are looking for the LaTeX like formatting for texts also, I am not sure if there is some other ways to do that.

Thanks
