This simplifies the task of creating indices. Only the items on the same line as the <code>@item</code> or <code>@itemx</code> commands are indexed, and they are indexed in exactly the form that they appear on that line. See <a href="Indices.html">Indices</a>, for more information about indices. </p> <p>Begin a two-column table using <code>@ftable</code> or <code>@vtable</code> by writing the @-command at the beginning of a line, followed on the same line by an argument that is a Texinfo command such as <code>@code</code>, exactly as you would for a <code>@table</code> command; and end the table with an <code>@end ftable</code> or <code>@end vtable</code> command on a line by itself. </p> <p>See the example for <code>@table</code> in the previous section. </p> </div> </body> </html>
