10.1 Block Enclosing Commands
Here is a summary of commands that enclose blocks of text, also known as environments. They’re explained further in the following sections.
@quotation
Indicate text that is quoted. The text is filled, indented (from both margins), and printed in a roman font by default.
@indentedblock
Like
@quotation
, but the text is indented only on the left.@example
Illustrate code, commands, and the like. The text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
@lisp
Like
@example
, but specifically for illustrating Lisp code. 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.@display
Display illustrative text. The text is indented but not filled, and no font is selected (so, by default, the font is roman).
@format
Like
@display
(the text is not filled and no font is selected), but the text is not indented.@smallquotation
@smallindentedblock
@smallexample
@smalllisp
@smalldisplay
@smallformat
These
@small...
commands are just like their non-small counterparts, except that they output text in a smaller font size, where possible.@flushleft
@flushright
Text is not filled, but is set flush with the left or right margin, respectively.
@raggedright
Text is filled, but only justified on the left, leaving the right margin ragged.
@cartouche
Highlight text, often an example or quotation, by drawing a box with rounded corners around it.
The @exdent
command is used within the above constructs to
undo the indentation of a line.
The @noindent
command may be used after one of the above
constructs (or anywhere) to prevent the following text from being
indented as a new paragraph.
