7.3.3.1 Special characters
..........................

'$' is ignored in 'PreTeX' for compatibility with LaTeX, and '%'
introduces a comment.  Hence they are the only symbols which have to be
quoted by a '\'.  The following characters should also be quoted to
produce good LaTeX files, but are accepted by 'PreScript': '_', '&',
'#'.

   Note that _inside a command_, like '\textbf', the quotation mechanism
does not work in 'PreScript' ('\textrm{#$%}' writes '#$%') though LaTeX
still requires quotation.  Hence whenever special characters or symbols
are introduced, they should be at the outer most level.
