 Avoiding substitution
 =====================
 
    Keyword substitution has its disadvantages.  Sometimes you might
 want the literal text string `$Author$' to appear inside a file without
 CVS interpreting it as a keyword and expanding it into something like
 `$Author: ceder $'.
 
    There is unfortunately no way to selectively turn off keyword
 substitution.  You can use `-ko' ( Substitution modes) to turn
 off keyword substitution entirely.
 
    In many cases you can avoid using keywords in the source, even
 though they appear in the final product.  For example, the source for
 this manual contains `$@asis{}Author$' whenever the text `$Author$'
 should appear.  In `nroff' and `troff' you can embed the null-character
 `\&' inside the keyword for a similar effect.
