In Texinfo, code is often illustrated in examples that are delimited
by @example and @end example, or by @lisp and
@end lisp. In such examples, you can indicate the results of
evaluation or an expansion using ‘⇒’ or
‘→’. Likewise, there are commands to insert glyphs
to indicate
printed output, error messages, equivalence of expressions, and the
location of point.
The glyph-insertion commands do not need to be used within an example, but most often they are. Every glyph-insertion command is followed by a pair of left- and right-hand braces.
