Here are commands for quotations and examples, explained further in the following sections:
@quotationIndicate text that is quoted. The text is filled, indented, and printed in a roman font by default.
@exampleIllustrate code, commands, and the like. The text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
@verbatimMark a piece of text that is to be printed verbatim; no character
substitutions are made and all commands are ignored, until the next
@end verbatim. 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.
@smallexampleSame as @example, except that in TeX this command typesets
text in a smaller font.
@lispLike @example, but specifically for illustrating Lisp code. The
text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
@smalllispIs to @lisp as @smallexample is to @example.
@displayDisplay illustrative text. The text is indented but not filled, and no font is selected (so, by default, the font is roman).
@smalldisplayIs to @display as @smallexample is to @example.
@formatLike @display (the text is not filled and no font is selected),
but the text is not indented.
@smallformatIs to @format as @smallexample is to @example.
The @exdent command is used within the above constructs to
undo the indentation of a line.
The @flushleft and @flushright commands are used to line
up the left or right margins of unfilled text.
The @noindent command may be used after one of the above
constructs to prevent the following text from being indented as a new
paragraph.
You can use the @cartouche command within one of the above
constructs to highlight the example or quotation by drawing a box with
rounded corners around it. See Drawing Cartouches Around Examples.
