## Quoting

Quoting of words can be used to suppress the meaning of special characters (like the dollar sign, curly braces, etc.). While quoting with ``'' only suppresses the special meaning of space (as a word separator), curly braces suppress the meaning of all special characters. Special characters are e.g. square brackets, the dollar sign or backslash sequences (like `` n''). Quoting a parameter with curly braces delays its interpretation to the execution of the called command.
