tt(DEFINECHARTABLE) is used to define a character translation table.
The function expects two parameterlists, containing the name of the 
character table and character table translations
on separate lines. These character table  translations are of the form 
        verb(
    character = quoted-string
        )
    Here, character is always a value within single quotes. It may be a single
character, an octal character value or a hexadecimal character value. The
single character may be prefixed by a \-character (e.g., tt('\\')). The octal
character value must start with a backslash, followed by three octal digits
(e.g., tt('\045'). The hexadecimal character value starts with tt(0x),
followed by two hexadecimal characters. E.g., tt('0xbe'). The double quoted
string may contain anything (but the string must be on one line), possibly
containing escape-sequences as well: in the double quoted string the standard
bf(C) escape sequences tt(\a) (alert), tt(\b) (beep), tt(\f) (formfeed),
tt(\n) (newline), tt(\r) (carriage return), tt(\t) (tab), and tt(\v) (vertical
tab) are recognized and automatically converted to their special
meanings. Starting with Yodl 2.14.0 octal and hexadecimal constants may also
be used. E.g., character tt(Y) may also be specified using the octal value
tt(\131) or the hexadecimal value tt(\x59). Any other character following a
backslash character (tt(\)) defines itself: tt(\\) represents a single
backslash character.


    Example:
        verb(
    DEFINECHARTABLE(demotable)(
        '&'     = "&amp;"
        '\\'    = "\\backslash"
        '\045'  = "oct(45)"
        '0xa4'  = "hex(a4)"
    )
        )
    The builtin function tt(DEFINECHARTABLE) does not em(activate) the
table. The table is merely defined. To activate the character translation
table, use tt(USECHARTABLE). The discussion of character tables is postponed
to section ref(CHARTABLES).
