index will have items indexed under all the different words that people
may use. For example, one reader may think it obvious that the
two-letter names for indices should be listed under "Indices,
font and entries for the other indices are printed in a small `@code'
font. You may change the way part of an entry is printed with the
usual Texinfo commands, such as `@file' for file names and `@emph' for

Not everyone uses this style. Some people prefer `8.27 in.@:' or
`8.27 inches' to `8.27@dmn{in}' in the Texinfo file. In these cases,
however, the formatters may insert a line break between the number and

Here is a table with the commands Texinfo provides for inserting
floating accents. The commands with non-alphabetic names do not take
braces around their argument (which is taken to be the next character).
