19 @c The following macro is used for the on-line help system, but we don't
20 @c want lots of `See also: foo, bar, and baz' strings cluttering the
21 @c printed manual (that information should be in the supporting text for
22 @c each group of functions and variables).

29 @c Texinfo @sp should work but in practice produces ugly results for HTML.
30 @c A simple blank line produces the correct behavior.

38 @c The following macro marks words that aspell should ignore during
39 @c spellchecking. Within Texinfo it has no effect as it merely replaces
40 @c the macro call with the argument itself.
41
42 @macro nospell {arg}
43 \arg\
44 @end macro
45
46 @c The following macro works around a situation where the Info/plain text
47 @c expansion of the @code{XXX} macro is `XXX'. The use of the apostrophe
48 @c can be confusing if the code segment itself ends with a transpose operator.
49 @ifinfo
50 @macro xcode{arg}
51 \arg\
