One thing that you will occasionally need
is to be able to get a literal { or } in your
output, for an expression like
.EQ
{ "{" a + b "}" } over 2
.EN
The way to do this is to place the braces
that are really to appear ______inside ______quotes,
like this:
   .EQ
   { "{" a + b "}" } over 2
   .EN
.br
The quotes temporarily turn off the special meaning
of the braces so that you can have them printed.

The file "Example" has a lot of square brackets in
it.  Modify them so they are all braces when they are
printed - so they look like this - then type "ready".
