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 the output.
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, and with only one space between the
@end
and the example
.
