9.1 Indicating Definitions, Commands, etc.
Texinfo has commands for indicating just what kind of object a piece
of text refers to. For example, email addresses are marked by
@email; that way, the result can be a live link to send email
when the output format supports it. If the email address was simply
marked as “print in a typewriter font”, that would not be possible.
