 Quotations and Examples
 ***********************
 
   Quotations and examples are blocks of text consisting of one or more
 whole paragraphs that are set off from the bulk of the text and treated
 differently.  They are usually indented.
 
   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 `@end' command that is also at the beginning of a line by itself.
 For instance, you begin an example by writing `@example' by itself at
 the beginning of a line and end the example by writing `@end example'
 on a line by itself, at the beginning of that line.
