Here are commands for quotations and examples, explained further in the following sections:
@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.
@verbatim
Mark a piece of text that is to be printed verbatim; no character
substitutions are made and all commands are ignored, until the next
@end verbatim
. The text is printed in a fixed-width font,
and not indented or filled. Extra spaces and blank lines are
significant, and tabs are expanded.
@smallexample
Same as @example
, except that in TeX this command typesets
text in a smaller font.
@lisp
Like @example
, but specifically for illustrating Lisp code. The
text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
@smalllisp
Is to @lisp
as @smallexample
is to @example
.
@display
Display illustrative text. The text is indented but not filled, and no font is selected (so, by default, the font is roman).
@smalldisplay
Is to @display
as @smallexample
is to @example
.
@format
Like @display
(the text is not filled and no font is selected),
but the text is not indented.
@smallformat
Is to @format
as @smallexample
is to @example
.
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. See section Drawing Cartouches Around Examples.
