I'm sure we avoid pattern lines. Now that I think about it, we usually
have an extra little program that takes some relatively sane text and
generates lots of "\ " tabbing output, mostly avoiding "\>" and "\=".

That's certainly not a good situation. Both our document generation and
document presentation need an overhaul.

Here's the relevant bit of our .t2p file.
