Textual Examples

One way of helping readers understand information is to use examples. The example tag (:xmp.) and its corresponding end tag (:exmp.) enable you to illustrate your information with textual examples by turning formatting off so that you can arrange text any way you want it. The text will be displayed in a monospace font. To change the monospace font, use :font. within :xmp.. For more information about :font., see Changing Fonts.
