+doppio apice; @command{gawk} lo trasforma in un carattere doppio apice
+per poi scriverlo in output con l'istruzione @code{print}.
+
+In ambiente MS-Windows proteggere i doppi apici richiede questo
+espediente perch@'e occorre usare delle barre inverse per proteggere
+i doppi apici, ma le barre inverse non sono protette nella solita maniera;
+in effetti le barre inverse vanno raddoppiate (oppure no), a seconda che
+siano seguite (oppure no) da un doppio apice.
+La regola in ambiente MS-Windows per racchiudere tra doppi apici una

+
address@hidden
address@hidden
+Per ogni doppio apice presente nella stringa originale, sia @var{N} il
+numero di barre inverse presenti nella stringa prima di esso (@var{N}

+con @address@hidden@var{N}+1} barre inverse.
+
address@hidden
+Sia poi @var{N} il numero di barre inverse alla fine della stringa originale,
+(@var{N} potrebbe anche valere zero). Si rimpiazzino queste @var{N}
+barre inverse con @address@hidden@var{N}} barre inverse
+
address@hidden
+La stringa address@hidden@dotless{i}} prodotta va racchiusa fra doppi apici.
