 `@small...' Block Commands
 ==========================
 
   In addition to the regular `@example' and `@lisp' commands, Texinfo
 has "small" example-style commands.  These are `@smalldisplay',
 `@smallexample', `@smallformat', and `@smalllisp'.
 
   In TeX, the `@small...' commands typeset text in a smaller font than
 the non-small example commands.  Consequently, many examples containing
 long lines fit on a page without needing to be shortened.
 
   In Info, the `@small...' commands are equivalent to their non-small
 companion commands.
 
   Mark the end of an `@small...' block with a corresponding `@end
 small...'.  For example, pair `@smallexample' with `@end smallexample'.
 
      This is an example of text written between `@smallexample' and
      `@end smallexample'.  In Info this text appears in its normal size;
      but in a 7 by 9.25 inch manual, this text appears in a smaller font.
 
   The `@small...' commands make it easier to prepare manuals without
 forcing you to edit examples by hand to fit them onto narrower pages.
 
   As a general rule, a printed document looks better if you use only one
 of (for example) `@example' or in `@smallexample' consistently within a
 chapter.  Only occasionally should you mix the two formats.

 the `@smallbook' command.
