<p>In Texinfo, code is often illustrated in examples that are delimited
by <code>@example</code> and <code>@end example</code>, or by <code>@lisp</code> and
<code>@end lisp</code>. In such examples, you can indicate the results of
evaluation or an expansion using ‘<samp>⇒</samp>’ or
‘<samp>→</samp>’. Likewise, there are commands to insert glyphs to
indicate printed output, error messages, equivalence of expressions,
the location of point in an editor, and GUI operation sequences.
</p>
<p>The glyph-insertion commands do not need to be used within an example,
but most often they are. All glyph-insertion commands are followed by
empty braces.
