In such examples, you can indicate the results of evaluation or an expansion using ‘<samp>⇒</samp>’ or ‘<samp>→</samp>’. Likewise, there are commands to insert glyphs to indicate printed output, error messages, equivalence of expressions, the location of point in an editor, and GUI operation sequences. </p> <p>The glyph-insertion commands do not need to be used within an example, but most often they are. All glyph-insertion commands are followed by empty braces. </p> <ul class="section-toc"> <li><a href="Glyphs-Summary.html" accesskey="1">Glyphs Summary</a></li> <li><a href="_0040result.html" accesskey="2"><code>@result{}</code> (⇒): Result of an Expression</a></li> <li><a href="_0040expansion.html" accesskey="3"><code>@expansion{}</code> (→): Indicating an Expansion</a></li> <li><a href="_0040print.html" accesskey="4"><code>@print{}</code> (-|): Indicating Generated Output</a></li> <li><a href="_0040error.html" accesskey="5"><code>@error{}</code> (error→): Indicating an Error Message</a></li> <li><a href="_0040equiv.html" accesskey="6"><code>@equiv{}</code> (≡): Indicating Equivalence</a></li> <li><a href="_0040point.html" accesskey="7"><code>@point{}</code> (∗): Indicating Point in a Buffer</a></li> <li><a href="Click-Sequences.html" accesskey="8">Click Sequences</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
