@cartouche: Rounded Rectangles Around Examples
In a printed manual, the @cartouche command draws a box with
rounded corners around its contents. In HTML, a normal rectangle is
drawn (that's the best HTML can do). @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
|
For proper output in HTML, it's necessary to put the
@cartouche around the @example, and not the other way
around. This limitation of makeinfo may be removed one day.
@cartouche also implies @group (see group).
