They are usually indented in the output. </p> <span id="index-end"></span> <p>In Texinfo, you always begin a quotation or example by writing an @-command at the beginning of a line by itself, and end it by writing an <code>@end</code> command that is also at the beginning of a line by itself. For instance, you begin an example by writing <code>@example</code> by itself at the beginning of a line and end the example by writing <code>@end example</code> on a line by itself, at the beginning of that line, and with only one space between the <code>@end</code> and the <code>example</code>. </p> <ul class="section-toc"> <li><a href="Block-Enclosing-Commands.html" accesskey="1">Block Enclosing Commands</a></li> <li><a href="_0040quotation.html" accesskey="2"><code>@quotation</code>: Block Quotations</a></li> <li><a href="_0040indentedblock.html" accesskey="3"><code>@indentedblock</code>: Indented text blocks</a></li> <li><a href="_0040example.html" accesskey="4"><code>@example</code>: Example Text</a></li> <li><a href="_0040verbatim.html" accesskey="5"><code>@verbatim</code>: Literal Text</a></li> <li><a href="_0040lisp.html" accesskey="6"><code>@lisp</code>: Marking a Lisp Example</a></li> <li><a href="_0040display.html" accesskey="7"><code>@display</code>: Examples Using the Text Font</a></li> <li><a href="_0040format.html" accesskey="8"><code>@format</code>: Examples Using the Full Line Width</a></li> <li><a href="_0040exdent.html" accesskey="9"><code>@exdent</code>: Undoing a Line’s Indentation</a></li> <li><a href="_0040flushleft-_0040flushright.html"><code>@flushleft</code> and <code>@flushright</code></a></li> <li><a href="_0040raggedright.html"><code>@raggedright</code>: Ragged Right Text</a></li> <li><a href="_0040noindent.html"><code>@noindent</code>: Omitting Indentation</a></li> <li><a href="_0040indent.html"><code>@indent</code>: Forcing Indentation</a></li> <li><a href="_0040cartouche.html"><code>@cartouche</code>: Rounded Rectangles</a></li> <li><a href="small.html"><code>@small…</code> Block Commands</a></li> </ul> </div> </body> </html>
