The Block Enclosing Commands
============================
Here are commands for quotations and examples:
`@quotation'
Indicate text that is quoted. The text is filled, indented, and
printed in a roman font by default.
`@example'
Illustrate code, commands, and the like. The text is printed in a
fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
`@lisp'
Illustrate Lisp code. The text is printed in a fixed-width font,
and indented but not filled.
`@smallexample'
Illustrate code, commands, and the like. Similar to `@example',
except that in TeX this command typesets text in a smaller font
for the smaller `@smallbook' format than for the 8.5 by 11 inch
format.
`@smalllisp'
Illustrate Lisp code. Similar to `@lisp', except that in TeX this
command typesets text in a smaller font for the smaller
`@smallbook' format than for the 8.5 by 11 inch format.
`@display'
Display illustrative text. The text is indented but not filled,
and no font is specified (so, by default, the font is roman).
`@format'
Print illustrative text. The text is not indented and not filled
and no font is specified (so, by default, the font is roman).
The `@exdent' command is used within the above constructs to undo
the indentation of a line.
The `@flushleft' and `@flushright' commands are used to line up the
left or right margins of unfilled text.
The `@noindent' command may be used after one of the above
constructs to prevent the following text from being indented as a new
paragraph.
You can use the `@cartouche' command within one of the above
constructs to highlight the example or quotation by drawing a box with
rounded corners around it. (The `@cartouche' command affects only the
printed manual; it has no effect in the Info file; see cartouche.)
