@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.
