 <p>Here is a summary of commands that enclose blocks of text, also known
 as <em class="dfn">environments</em>.  They&rsquo;re explained further in the following
 sections.
 </p>
 <dl class="table">
 <dt><code class="code">@quotation</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Indicate text that is quoted. The text is filled, indented (from both
 margins), and printed in a roman font by default.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@indentedblock</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Like <code class="code">@quotation</code>, but the text is indented only on the left.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@example</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Illustrate code, commands, and the like. The text is printed
 in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@lisp</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Like <code class="code">@example</code>, but specifically for illustrating Lisp code. The
 text is printed in a fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@verbatim</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Mark a piece of text that is to be printed verbatim; no character
 substitutions are made and all commands are ignored, until the next
 <code class="code">@end verbatim</code>.  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.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@display</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Display illustrative text.  The text is indented but not filled, and
 no font is selected (so, by default, the font is roman).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@format</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Like <code class="code">@display</code> (the text is not filled and no font is
 selected), but the text is not indented.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@smallquotation</code></dt>
 <dt><code class="code">@smallindentedblock</code></dt>
 <dt><code class="code">@smallexample</code></dt>
 <dt><code class="code">@smalllisp</code></dt>
 <dt><code class="code">@smalldisplay</code></dt>
 <dt><code class="code">@smallformat</code></dt>
 <dd><p>These <code class="code">@small...</code> commands are just like their non-small
 counterparts, except that they output text in a smaller font size,
 where possible.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@flushleft</code></dt>
 <dt><code class="code">@flushright</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Text is not filled, but is set flush with the left or right margin,
 respectively.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@raggedright</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Text is filled, but only justified on the left, leaving the right
 margin ragged.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt><code class="code">@cartouche</code></dt>
 <dd><p>Highlight text, often an example or quotation, by drawing a box with
 rounded corners around it.
 </p></dd>
 </dl>

 <p>The <code class="code">@exdent</code> command is used within the above constructs to
 undo the indentation of a line.
 </p>
 <p>The <code class="code">@noindent</code> command may be used after one of the above
 constructs (or at the beginning of any paragraph) to prevent the
 following text from being indented as a new paragraph.
