 The DTL text is pretty straightforward, for this purpose:
 fontnames are in single quotes at the end of lines, so:
-  `dv2dt -o` &lsaquo;_doc.txt_&rsaquo; &lsaquo;_doc.dvi_&rsaquo;
+  dv2dt -o ⟨doc.txt⟩ ⟨doc.dvi⟩
-  (_edit the `txt` file_)

-  `dt2dv -o` &lsaquo;_edited.dvi_&rsaquo; &lsaquo;_edited.txt_&rsaquo;

 Both routes seem acceptable ways forward; it is a matter of taste
 which any particular user may choose (it's not likely that it will be
 necessary very often...).
