@node example vs. verbatim,,(dir),(dir)
@chapter @code{@@example} vs.@: @code{@@verbatim} environment

Here we compare the indentation of the @code{@@example} and the
@code{@@verbatim} environment.  The latter is indented while the
former isn't, as can be seen in the examples below.

First, a @code{@@verbatim} environment:

@verbatim
This is
a @verbatim environment.
@end verbatim

Now, the @code{@@example} environment:

@example
This is
an @@example environment.
@end example

For consistent appearance, the @code{@@example} environment should be
used if possible.  If @code{@@verbatim} is unavoidable, surround it
with a @code{@@quotation} environment to get the proper indentation:

@quotation
@verbatim
This is
a @verbatim environment.
@end verbatim
@end quotation

@bye
