For example, email addresses are marked by <code>@email</code>; that way, the result can be a live link to send email when the output format supports it. If the email address was simply marked as “print in a typewriter font”, that would not be possible. </p> <ul class="section-toc"> <li><a href="Useful-Highlighting.html" accesskey="1">Highlighting Commands are Useful</a></li> <li><a href="_0040code.html" accesskey="2"><code>@code</code>{<var>sample-code</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040kbd.html" accesskey="3"><code>@kbd</code>{<var>keyboard-characters</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040key.html" accesskey="4"><code>@key</code>{<var>key-name</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040samp.html" accesskey="5"><code>@samp</code>{<var>text</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040verb.html" accesskey="6"><code>@verb</code>{<var>char</var><var>text</var><var>char</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040var.html" accesskey="7"><code>@var</code>{<var>metasyntactic-variable</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040env.html" accesskey="8"><code>@env</code>{<var>environment-variable</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040file.html" accesskey="9"><code>@file</code>{<var>file-name</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040command.html"><code>@command</code>{<var>command-name</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040option.html"><code>@option</code>{<var>option-name</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040dfn.html"><code>@dfn</code>{<var>term</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040abbr.html"><code>@abbr</code>{<var>abbreviation</var>[, <var>meaning</var>]}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040acronym.html"><code>@acronym</code>{<var>acronym</var>[, <var>meaning</var>]}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040indicateurl.html"><code>@indicateurl</code>{<var>uniform-resource-locator</var>}</a></li> <li><a href="_0040email.html"><code>@email</code>{<var>email-address</var>[, <var>displayed-text</var>]}</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
