-|: Indicating Printed Output
=============================

   Sometimes an expression will print output during its execution.  You
can indicate the printed output with the `@print{}' command.

   The `@print{}' command is displayed as `-|' in Info and similarly,
as a horizontal dash butting against a vertical bar, in the printed
output.

   In the following example, the printed text is indicated with `-|',
and the value of the expression follows on the last line.

     (progn (print 'foo) (print 'bar))
          -| foo
          -| bar
          => bar

In a Texinfo source file, this example is written as follows:

     @lisp
     (progn (print 'foo) (print 'bar))
          @print{} foo
          @print{} bar
          @result{} bar
     @end lisp
