This section describes the general conventions used in all Texinfo documents.
@noindent
on a line by itself before the
paragraph.
@iftex
and @end iftex
commands, that region will appear only in
the printed copy; in that region, you can use certain commands
borrowed from plain TeX that you cannot use in Info. Conversely,
text surrounded by @ifnottex
and @end ifnottex
will
appear in all output formats except TeX.
Each of the other output formats (html
, info
,
plaintext
) have an analogous pair of commands. See section Conditionally Visible Text.
Caution: Do not use tab characters in a Texinfo file (except in verbatim modes)! TeX uses variable-width fonts, which means that it is impractical at best to define a tab to work in all circumstances. Consequently, TeX treats tabs like single spaces, and that is not what they look like. Furthermore,
makeinfo
does nothing special with tabs, and thus a tab character in your input file may appear differently in the output, for example, in indented text.To avoid this problem, Texinfo mode causes GNU Emacs to insert multiple spaces when you press the <TAB> key.
Also, you can run
untabify
in Emacs to convert tabs in a region to multiple spaces.
