-<h3>&#8220;Modern&#8221; graphics file names</h3>
-<p/>TeX was designed in a world where file names were very simple
-indeed, typically strictly limited both in character set and length.
-In modern systems, such restrictions have largely disappeared, which
-leaves TeX rather at odds with its environment. Particular
-problems arise with spaces in file names, but things like multiple
-period characters can seriously confuse the <i>graphics</i>
-package.
-<p/>The specification of TeX leaves some leeway for distributions to
-adopt file access appropriate to their operating system, but this
-hasn&#8217;t got us very far. Many modern distributions allow you to
-specify a file name as <code>"file name.tex"</code> (for example), which
-helps somewhat, but while this allows us to say
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\input "foo bar.tex"
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-the analogous usage
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\includegraphics{"gappy graphics.eps"}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-using &#8220;ordinary&#8221; LaTeX causes confusion in <i>xdvi</i> and
-<i>dvips</i>, even though it works at compilation time. Sadly,
-even within such quotes, multiple dots give <code>\</code><code>includegraphics</code>
-difficulties. Note that
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-\includegraphics{"gappy graphics.pdf"}
-</pre>
-</blockquote><p>
-works in a similar version of PDFTeX.
-<p/>If you&#8217;re using the <i>graphics</i> package, the <i>grffile</i>
-package will help. The package offers several options, the simplest
-of which are <code>multidot</code> (allowing more than one dot in a
-file name) and <code>space</code> (allowing space in a file name). The
-<code>space</code> option requires that you&#8217;re running on a
-sufficiently recent version of PDFTeX, in PDF mode &#8212; and
-even then it won&#8217;t work for MetaPost files, which are read as TeX
-input, and therefore use the standard input mechanism).
