`@lisp'
=======

   The `@lisp' command is used for Lisp code.  It is synonymous with
the `@example' command.

     This is an example of text written between an
     `@lisp' command and an `@end lisp' command.

   Use `@lisp' instead of `@example' so as to preserve information
regarding the nature of the example.  This is useful, for example, if
you write a function that evaluates only and all the Lisp code in a
Texinfo file.  Then you can use the Texinfo file as a Lisp library.(1)

   Mark the end of `@lisp' with `@end lisp' on a line by itself.

   ---------- Footnotes ----------

   (1)  It would be straightforward to extend Texinfo to work in a
similar fashion for C, FORTRAN, or other languages.
