@lisp
: Marking a Lisp Example
The @lisp
command is used for Lisp code. It is synonymous
with the @example
command.
This is an example of text written between an@lisp
command and an@end lisp
command.
Use @lisp
instead of @example
to preserve information
regarding the nature of the example. This is useful, for example, if
you write a function that evaluates only and all the Lisp code in a
Texinfo file. Then you can use the Texinfo file as a Lisp
library.1
Mark the end of @lisp
with @end lisp
on a line by
itself.
[1] It would be straightforward to extend Texinfo to work in a similar fashion for C, Fortran, or other languages.
