<p>Each of the following @-commands has an associated customization
variable with the same name (minus the leading <code>@</code>):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@allowcodebreaks @clickstyle
@codequotebacktick @codequoteundirected
@contents @deftypefnnewline
@documentdescription @documentencoding @documentlanguage
@exampleindent @firstparagraphindent
@footnotestyle @frenchspacing
@kbdinputstyle @novalidate
@paragraphindent @setfilename
@shortcontents @urefbreakstyle
@validatemenus @xrefautomaticsectiontitle
</pre></div>
<p>Setting such a customization variable to a value ‘<samp>foo</samp>’ is similar
to executing <code>@<var>cmd</var> foo</code>. It is not exactly the same,
though, since any side effects of parsing the Texinfo source are not
redone. Also, some variables do not take Texinfo code when generating
particular formats, but an argument that is already formatted. This
is the case, for example, for HTML for <code>documentdescription</code>.
</p>
<p>Note that if <code>texi2any</code> is invoked to process the file with
TeX (e.g., with the <samp>--pdf</samp> option), then these customization
variables may not be passed on to TeX.
