14.10.5 @error{} (error-->): Indicating an Error Message

A piece of code may cause an error when you evaluate it. You can designate the error message with the @error{} command.

The @error{} command is displayed as `error-->' in Info and HTML and as the word `error' in a box in the printed output.

Thus,

     @lisp
     (+ 23 'x)
     @error{} Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, x
     @end lisp

produces

     (+ 23 'x)
     error--> Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, x

This indicates that the following error message is printed when you evaluate the expression:

     Wrong type argument: integer-or-marker-p, x

`error-->' itself is not part of the error message.
