.LITERAL

   The .LITERAL command allows you to have your text formatted
   exactly as you have typed it. This means that you will get a
   blank line in the output file wherever a blank line occurs in the
   input file. (If the value specified by the .SPACING command is
   anything other than one, you will get the spacing value that you
   specified.)

   Commands are not recognized when .LITERAL is in effect and are
   treated as ordinary text if you enter them. DSR flags are also
   treated as normal text. Tab stops set prior to the .LITERAL
   command, however, are still in effect within the block of
   .LITERAL text (see .TAB STOPS). You must enter .END LITERAL when
   you want DSR to resume normal formatting.

   If you want to have flags in effect, use the .KEEP and .NO FILL
   commands instead of the .LITERAL command.
