Verbatim blocks

are similar to blocks in indentation but deactivate pattern recognition. That means the embedded text is not scanned for tags and empty lines and may therefore remain as it was in its original place, possibly a script.

These special blocks need a special syntax. They are implemented as here documents. Start with a here document clause flagging which string will close the paragraph:


  <<EOC

    # compare (\I<tags> have not to be escaped)
    $rc=3>2?4:5;

  EOC
