 Block Enclosing Commands
 ========================
 
   Here are commands for quotations and examples, explained further in
 the following sections:
 
 `@quotation'
      Indicate text that is quoted. The text is filled, indented, and
      printed in a roman font by default.
 
 `@example'
      Illustrate code, commands, and the like. The text is printed in a
      fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
 
 `@verbatim'
      Mark 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.
 
 `@smallexample'
      Same as `@example', except that in TeX this command typesets text
      in a smaller font.
 
 `@lisp'
      Like `@example', but specifically for illustrating Lisp code. The
      text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
 
 `@smalllisp'
      Is to `@lisp' as `@smallexample' is to `@example'.
 
 `@display'
      Display illustrative text.  The text is indented but not filled,
      and no font is selected (so, by default, the font is roman).
 
 `@smalldisplay'
      Is to `@display' as `@smallexample' is to `@example'.
 
 `@format'
      Like `@display' (the text is not filled and no font is selected),
      but the text is not indented.
 
 `@smallformat'
      Is 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.   Drawing Cartouches Around Examples
 cartouche.
