[Rivet] histogram legend with spaces and other characters

[Andy Buckley]

Hi Raghav,

You can give arbitrary histogram names on the command line like this:

rivet-mkhtml a.yoda:A b.yoda:"Histo B" c.yoda:'$\mathcal{C}$'

where the labels get increasingly silly from left to right. This is just 
a convenient way of setting the Title attribute in each HISTOGRAM block 
in the .dat files: those are used in the legend, while the Title of the 
PLOT block (if given) is written at the top of the plot.

Even if i try to give a different title, it has to be one without any spaces or special characters. for example i have a histogram that i ideally want to label

I see that you can give a custom legend in the make plot documentation page, but it looks like its only for the plot as opposed to a specific histogram?
