@cartouche: Rounded Rectangles Around Examples

In a printed manual, the @cartouche command draws a box with rounded corners around its contents. You can use this command to further highlight an example or quotation. For instance, you could write a manual in which one type of example is surrounded by a cartouche for emphasis.

@cartouche affects only the printed manual; it has no effect in other output files.

For example,

     @example
     @cartouche
     % pwd
     /usr/local/share/emacs
     @end cartouche
     @end example
     

surrounds the two-line example with a box with rounded corners, in the printed manual.
