10.7 '@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.

   ---------- Footnotes ----------

   (1) It would be straightforward to extend Texinfo to work in a
similar fashion for C, Fortran, or other languages.
