Special Insertions

Texinfo provides several commands for formatting dimensions, for inserting single characters that have special meaning in Texinfo, such as braces, and for inserting special graphic symbols that do not correspond to characters, such as dots and bullets.

These are:

• Braces, `@' and periods.
• Format a dimension, such as `12pt'.
• Dots and bullets.
• The TeX logo and the copyright symbol.
• A minus sign.
