0.9.1.9. Using many "fonts" in text
I find the `\tr' ("typewriter font") and `\pl' ("plain
font") commands quite useful. (Yes, I know they go against the
intensional markup principle (section See ASCII-declarative-markup),
but they are so convenient...)
I'm inclined to make up notations for italics, small caps, and bold
(and their ASCII-only "equivalents") and then try to systematize
their use. Hmmm....
I've found the Texinfo attempt to have a command for every different
kind of thing you might want to talk about in a document to be too
much and also unsatisfying.
