How to include "@someword" verbatim in a documentation?

I fear this is quite a beginners question...

The text of a class documentation must contain words that start with an "@" symbol because this is the kind of data the class processes. How can I prevent the error message "@someword is an unknown tag"?

(This is unfortunately not mentioned in the FAQ ... )

Thank you for your patience!
