GNU Info (groff)Embedded CommandsEmbedded Commands ================= Most documents need more functionality beyond filling, adjusting and implicit line breaking. In order to gain further functionality, `gtroff' allows commands to be embedded into the text, in two ways. The first is a "request" which takes up an entire line, and does some large-scale operation (e.g. break lines, start new pages). The other is an "escape" which can be embedded anywhere in the text, or even as an argument to a request. Escapes generally do more minor operations like sub- and superscripts, print a symbol, etc. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
