10.9 '@display': Examples Using the Text Font
=============================================

The '@display' command begins another kind of environment, where the
font is left unchanged, not switched to typewriter as with '@example'.
Each line of input still produces a line of output, and the output is
still indented.

     This is an example of text written between an '@display' command
     and an '@end display' command.  The '@display' command
     indents the text, but does not fill it.

  Texinfo also provides the environment '@smalldisplay', which is like
'@display' but uses a smaller font size.  *Note @small...::.

  The '@table' command (Note: @table) is not supported inside
'@display'.  Since '@display' is line-oriented, it doesn't make sense to
use them together.  If you want to indent a table, try '@quotation'
(Note: @quotation) or '@indentedblock' (Note: @indentedblock).
