10.16 '@cartouche': Rounded Rectangles
======================================

In a printed manual, the '@cartouche' command draws a box with rounded
corners around its contents.  In HTML, a normal rectangle is drawn.
'@cartouche' has no effect in Info output.

  You can use this command to further highlight an example or quotation.
For instance, you could write a manual in which one type of example is
surrounded by a cartouche for emphasis.

  For example,

     @cartouche
     @example
     % pwd
     /usr/local/share/emacs
     @end example
     @end cartouche

surrounds the two-line example with a box with rounded corners, in the
printed manual.

  The output from the example looks like this (if you're reading this in
Info, you'll see the '@cartouche' had no effect):

     % pwd
     /usr/local/info

  '@cartouche' also implies '@group' (Note: @group).
