They’re explained further in the following sections. </p> <dl compact="compact"> <dt><span><code>@quotation</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Indicate text that is quoted. The text is filled, indented (from both margins), and printed in a roman font by default. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@indentedblock</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Like <code>@quotation</code>, but the text is indented only on the left. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@example</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Illustrate code, commands, and the like. The text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@lisp</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Like <code>@example</code>, but specifically for illustrating Lisp code. The text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@verbatim</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Mark a piece of text that is to be printed verbatim; no character substitutions are made and all commands are ignored, until the next <code>@end verbatim</code>. 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. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@display</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Display illustrative text. The text is indented but not filled, and no font is selected (so, by default, the font is roman). </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@format</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Like <code>@display</code> (the text is not filled and no font is selected), but the text is not indented. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@smallquotation</code></span></dt> <dt><span><code>@smallindentedblock</code></span></dt> <dt><span><code>@smallexample</code></span></dt> <dt><span><code>@smalllisp</code></span></dt> <dt><span><code>@smalldisplay</code></span></dt> <dt><span><code>@smallformat</code></span></dt> <dd><p>These <code>@small...</code> commands are just like their non-small counterparts, except that they output text in a smaller font size, where possible. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@flushleft</code></span></dt> <dt><span><code>@flushright</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Text is not filled, but is set flush with the left or right margin, respectively. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@raggedright</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Text is filled, but only justified on the left, leaving the right margin ragged. </p> </dd> <dt><span><code>@cartouche</code></span></dt> <dd><p>Highlight text, often an example or quotation, by drawing a box with rounded corners around it. </p></dd> </dl> <p>The <code>@exdent</code> command is used within the above constructs to undo the indentation of a line. </p> <p>The <code>@noindent</code> command may be used after one of the above constructs (or at the beginning of any paragraph) to prevent the following text from being indented as a new paragraph. </p> </div> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="_0040quotation.html"><code>@quotation</code>: Block Quotations</a>, Up: <a href="Quotations-and-Examples.html">Quotations and Examples</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Command-and-Variable-Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
