+plaingraphic.sym @Index { @@PlainGraphic symbol }
+The @@PlainGraphic symbol is avery rudimentary analogue for plain text
+output of the @@Graphic symbol for PostScript output. Its result is
+its right parameter printed on a background created by repeated
+printings of its left parameter, which must be a simple word. For
+example,
+@ID @Verbatim { "." @PlainGraphic 5s @Wide }
+would produce five dots. @@PlainGraphic is used in the @Code tbl
+table-drawing package to produce plain-text rules.
