 LaTeX::Encode provides a function to encode text that is to be formatted with
 LaTeX. It encodes characters that are special to LaTeX or that are
 represented in LaTeX by LaTeX commands.
 .
 The special characters are: \ (command character), { (open group), } (end
 group), & (table column separator), # (parameter specifier), % (comment
 character), _ (subscript), ^ (superscript), ~ (non-breakable space), $
 (mathematics mode).
 .
 Note that some of the LaTeX commands for characters are defined in the LaTeX
 textcomp package. If your text includes such characters, you will need to
 include the following lines in the preamble to your LaTeX document.
 .
         \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
         \usepackage{textcomp}
