 `@minus'{} (-): Inserting a Minus Sign
 ======================================
 
   Use the `@minus{}' command to generate a minus sign.  In a
 fixed-width font, this is a single hyphen, but in a proportional font,
 the symbol is the customary length for a minus sign--a little longer
 than a hyphen, shorter than an em-dash:
 
      `-' is a minus sign generated with `@minus{}',
      
      `-' is a hyphen generated with the character `-',
      
      `---' is an em-dash for text.
 
 In the fixed-width font used by Info, `@minus{}' is the same as a
 hyphen.
 
   You should not use `@minus{}' inside `@code' or `@example' because
 the width distinction is not made in the fixed-width font they use.
 
   When you use `@minus' to specify the mark beginning each entry in an
 itemized list, you do not need to type the braces ( `@itemize'
 itemize..)
