; LOUTIFY-CHAR converts a char to a string that is save for
; inclusion in an Lout document. LOUTIFY-STRING does the
; same for a string.
;
; Example:   (loutify-char #\")        ==>  "\"\\\"\""
;            (loutify-string "\"x\"")  ==>  "\"\\\"x\\\"\""

          ((char=? c #\@) (quotify "@"))
          ((char=? c #\/) (quotify "/"))
