How to Use VERBATIM
You use the VERBATIM command if you want to temporarily suspend any
text formatting. Your output will be printed exactly as it appears in the file.
VERBATIM int
This command causes TFORM to treat the next int input lines as text
and to print them exactly as they appear in the input file, ignoring any
commands and escape sequences.
VERBATIM, with no modifier, assumes 1 as the int and prints only the
next line exactly as it appears.
VERBATIM BLANK
VERBATIM BLANK tells TFORM to treat all subsequent lines as text
until it encounters a blank line.
Tips
Lines in the input file that are to be printed under control of the
VERBATIM command must fit within the current margins; there are no
other restrictions.
The VERBATIM command causes an implicit line break.
