<h4 class="subsection">11.4.1 Using the <code>@table</code> Command</h4>
<p><a name="index-Definition-lists_002c-typesetting-535"></a>Use the <code>@table</code> command to produce two-column tables. It is
usually listed for “definition lists” of various sorts, where you
have a list of terms and a brief text with each one.
<p>Write the <code>@table</code> command at the beginning of a line, after a
blank line, and follow it on the same line with an argument that is a
Texinfo “indicating” command such as <code>@code</code>, <code>@samp</code>,
<code>@var</code>, <code>@option</code>, or <code>@kbd</code> (see <a href="Indicating.html#Indicating">Indicating</a>).
<p>This command will be applied to the text that goes into the first
column of each item and thus determines how it will be highlighted.
For example, <code>@table @code</code> will cause the text in the first
column to be output as if it <code>@code</code> command.
<p><a name="index-asis-536"></a>You may also use the <code>@asis</code> command as an argument to
<code>@table</code>. <code>@asis</code> is a command that does nothing; if you
use this command after <code>@table</code>, the first column entries are
output without added highlighting (“as is”).
<p>The <code>@table</code> command works with other commands besides those
explicitly mentioned here. However, you can only use commands that
normally take arguments in braces. (In this case, however, you use
the command name without an argument, because the subsequent
<code>@item</code>'s will supply the argument.)
<p><a name="index-item-537"></a>Begin each table entry with an <code>@item</code> command at the beginning
of a line. Write the first column text on the same line as the
<code>@item</code> command. Write the second column text on the line
following the <code>@item</code> line and on subsequent lines. (You do not
need to type anything for an empty second column entry.) You may
write as many lines of supporting text as you wish, even several
paragraphs. But only the text on the same line as the <code>@item</code>
will be placed in the first column (including any footnotes).
<p>Normally, you should put a blank line before an <code>@item</code> line.
This puts a blank line in the Info file. Except when the entries are
very brief, a blank line looks better.
<p>End the table with a line consisting of <code>@end table</code>, followed
by a blank line. TeX will always start a new paragraph after the
table, so the blank line is needed for the Info output to be analogous.
<p>The following table, for example, highlights the text in the first
column with an <code>@samp</code> command:
<pre class="example"> @table @samp
@item foo
This is the text for
@samp{foo}.
@item bar
Text for @samp{bar}.
@end table
</pre>
<p class="noindent">This produces:
<dl>
<dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">foo</span></samp>’<dd>This is the text for
‘<samp><span class="samp">foo</span></samp>’.
<br><dt>‘<samp><span class="samp">bar</span></samp>’<dd>Text for ‘<samp><span class="samp">bar</span></samp>’.
</dl>
<p>If you want to list two or more named items with a single block of
text, use the <code>@itemx</code> command. (See <a href="itemx.html#itemx"><code>@itemx</code></a>.)
