 5.3.1 '"' special: Literal PostScript
 -------------------------------------
 
 For simple graphics, or just for experimentation, literal PostScript
 code can be included.  Simply use a '\special' beginning with a double
 quote character '"'; there is no matching closing '"'.
 
    For instance, the following (simple) graphic:
 
    [ picture of a grey triangle ]
 
 was created by typing:
 
      \vbox to 100bp{\vss % a bp is the same as a PostScript unit
        \special{" newpath 0 0 moveto 100 100 lineto 394 0 lineto
        closepath gsave 0.8 setgray fill grestore stroke}}
 
    You are responsible for leaving space for such literal graphics, as
 with the '\vbox' above.
