0.1.3.5. Shortcut notations

Within non-code parts of documents, code snippets may be included between `at' signs; e.g., `@f x y = y@' -- appropriate formatting, indexing, etc., will be done.

APRIL91 COMMENT: I need to clarify the proper use of these `@'s. I also need to figure what to do when `@'s are not the right thing! (I think Texinfo has an over-proliferation of commands for marking off this and that in the text.) See section See code-in-text-formatting.

For the ordinary text to be shown in a typewriter font (much used in user's guides, for example), you may use the `\tr{<text>}' command; the only restriction on `<text>' is that braces must be balanced. The same trick for "plain" (roman) font is `\pl{<text>}'. [APRIL91: See section See diff-fonts-in-text for further thoughts about fonts in your text.]
