<h2>Quoting</h2>
<p>Use quoting to remove the special meaning of certain characters
to <strong>qsh</strong>. The following characters may be used:</p>
<ul>
<li>The escape character (backslash) to remove the special meaning
of the following character with the exception of &lt;newline&gt;.
If a &lt;newline&gt; follows the backslash, <strong>qsh</strong>
interprets it as a line continuation. For example, <strong>
\$</strong> removes the special meaning of the dollar sign.</li>
<li>Literal (or single) quotation marks (<strong>'...'</strong>) to remove
the special meaning of all characters except the single quotation mark.</li>
<li>Grouping (or double) quotation marks (<strong>"..."</strong>) to remove
the special meaning of all characters except dollar sign
(<strong>$</strong>), back quotation mark (<strong>`</strong>), and backslash
(<strong>\</strong>). The backslash retains its special meaning as
an escape character only when it is followed by a dollar sign
(<strong>$</strong>), back quotation mark (<strong>`</strong>), double quotation mark
(<strong>"</strong>), backslash (<strong>\</strong>), or
&lt;newline&gt;.</li>
</ul>
