<p>The <code>@ftable</code> and <code>@vtable</code> commands are the same as the
<code>@table</code> command except that <code>@ftable</code> automatically enters
each of the items in the first column of the table into the index of
functions and <code>@vtable</code> automatically enters each of the items in
the first column of the table into the index of variables.  This
simplifies the task of creating indices.  Only the items on the same
line as the <code>@item</code> or <code>@itemx</code> commands are indexed, and
they are indexed in exactly the form that they appear on that line.
See <a href="Indices.html">Indices</a>, for more information about indices.
</p>
<p>Begin a two-column table using <code>@ftable</code> or <code>@vtable</code> by
writing the @-command at the beginning of a line, followed on the same
line by an argument that is a Texinfo command such as <code>@code</code>,
exactly as you would for a <code>@table</code> command; and end the table
with an <code>@end ftable</code> or <code>@end vtable</code> command on a line by
itself.
</p>
<p>See the example for <code>@table</code> in the previous section.
