-dvisvgm supports several \fIspecial commands\fR that enrich the DVI command set with additional instructions for features, like color, graphics, and hyperlinks\&. The term \fIspecial command\fR, or just \fIspecial\fR, originates from the TeX command \fB\especial{\&...}\fR which does almost nothing\&. TeX only forwards the whole command to the DVI file and delegates its execution to the DVI driver\&. The DVI driver can then decide to either process or ignore it, depending on the supported statements\&. The parameter of TeX\(cqs \fB\especial\fR command is given in curly braces and may consist of an arbitrary character sequence representing the actual instruction, for example \fBcolor Red\fR\&.

The term \fIspecial command\fR, or just \fIspecial\fR, originates from the TeX command \fB\especial{\&...}\fR which does almost nothing\&.

-dvisvgm delegates the evaluation of special commands to dedicated handlers\&. Each handler is responsible for all special statements of the same command set, i\&.e\&. commands usually \(en but not necessarily \(en beginning with a common prefix\&. For example, all PDF specials start with the prefix \fBpdf:\fR, while the TPIC special set consists of 13 different commands without common identifier\&. The PDF specials are processed by dvisvgm\(cqs \fIpdf\fR handler, the TPIC ones by the \fItpic\fR handler\&. To get a list of the actually provided special handlers, use option \fB\-\-list\-specials\fR (see above)\&. The following list gives an overview of the special sets currently supported\&. The names of the handlers can also be used to disable the processing of individual sets of specials\&. For further information on this, see option \fB\-\-no\-specials\fR\&.
+It might be worth mentioning that specials are only evaluated when processing DVI files\&. PS/EPS and PDF don\(cqt know anything about the concept of specials and therefore don\(cqt provide means to represent them\&.
