 literals can be represented using escape codes, i.e., the character is
 preceded by a backslash (\lstinline!\!) within the string. Those
 characters are:
-\begin{longtable}[c]{@{}ll@{}}
-\lstinline!\'! & single quote -- may also appear without backslash in string constants.\\
-\lstinline!\"! & double quote\\
-\lstinline!\?! & question-mark -- may also appear without backslash in string constants.\\

-\lstinline!\b! & backspace (code 8, ctrl-H)\\
