Bug #2281: need to escape stuff!

    1: \label{Spreadsheet_Referencing_Cells}
    2: 
    3: \textbf{Cells}
    4: 
    5: Cells may be specified by simply writing their name.  \texttt{A17} will be
    6: replaced with the value in row A column 17 before the perl is evaluated.
    7: 
    8: \textbf{Ranges}
    9: 
   10: Ranges \index{ranges, spreadsheet} specify rectangles of various shapes
   11: in the spreadsheet, just as ranges do in traditional spreadsheets. 
   12: Ranges must be enclosed in quotes.  Examples of legitimate ranges: 
   13: 
   14: \begin{itemize}
   15: 
   16: \item \textbf{``*''} - all rows, all columns 
   17: \item \textbf{``B*''} - all rows in column B 
   18: \item \textbf{``*5''} - all columns in row 5 
   19: \item \textbf{``C5''..``F25''} - all cells in the rectangle between C5 and F25
   20: 
   21: \end{itemize}
   22: 
   23: Many functions accept ranges. For example, \&SUM(``d*'') will add 
   24: up all cells in column d.
   25: 
   26: \textbf{Special References}
   27: 
   28: There is an additional means of referencing cells most used in the 
   29: \textbf{template row} (\ref{Spreadsheet_Template_Row}).  
   30: By using a ``\#'' in the place of a row number
   31: the spreadsheet will replace the \# with the current row number.  For example
   32: \texttt{B\#} will be replaced with the contents of cell B7 in the row 7 and
   33: the contents of B8 in row 8.
