<span id="format"></span><span id="index-format"></span>
<p>The <code>@format</code> command is similar to <code>@display</code>, except it
leaves the text unindented. Like <code>@display</code>, it does not select
the fixed-width font.
</p>
<div class="format">
<pre class="format">This is an example of text written between a <code>@format</code> command
and an <code>@end format</code> command. As you can see
from this example,
the <code>@format</code> command does not fill the text.
</pre></div>
<span id="index-smallformat"></span>
<p>Texinfo also provides the environment <code>@smallformat</code>, which is
like <code>@format</code> but uses a smaller font size.
See <a href="_0040small_2026.html"><code>@small…</code></a>.
