-All text objects, including titles, labels, legends, and text, include
-the property @qcode{"interpreter"}, this property determines the manner in which
-special control sequences in the text are rendered.  If the interpreter
-is set to @qcode{"none"}, then no rendering occurs.  At this point the
-@qcode{"latex"} option is not implemented and so the @qcode{"latex"}
-interpreter also does not interpret the text.

-The @qcode{"tex"} option implements a subset of @TeX{} functionality in the
-rendering of the text.  This allows the insertion of special characters
-such as Greek or mathematical symbols within the text.  The special
-characters are also inserted with a code starting with the backslash
-(\) character, as in the table @ref{tab:extended}.
