Escape markers

Purpose

Escape markers are used when source text is to remain unchanged in the final text.

Escape markers surround the text which must remain unchanged with the "<ESC>...</ESC>" marker. TPF takes into account the fact that the text is surrounded by these markers, and does not interpret it.

Example

If you wish to write a text which contains "\CHAP\", TPF will normally:

· interpret this macro

· replace it with the chapter’s style

If you want the "\CHAP\" text to remain unchanged, surround it with an escape tag, as follows:

<ESC> free text \CHAP\free text </ESC>

Result:

free text \CHAP\free text
