+* To produce good looking texinfo output (for both TTY and DVI) some
+ additional formatting rules should be followed.
+
+ . Do not use tabs. They expand to nothing in DVI output.
+
+ . Do not use spaces at the beginning of a line (except in @example
+ or @verbatim environments), and do not use more than a single space
+ between words. `makeinfo' copies the input lines verbatim without
+ removing those spaces.
+
+ . Variables or numbers which consist of a single character (probably
+ followed by a punctuation mark) should be tied properly, either to
+ the previous or the next word. Example:
+
+ The variable@tie{}@var{a} ...
+
+ . To get consistent indentation in the DVI output it is better to avoid
+ the @verbatim environment. Use the @example environment instead if
+ possible, but without extraneous indentation. For example, this
+
+ @example
+ foo {
+ bar
+ }
+ @end example
+
+ should be replaced with
+
+ @example
+ foo {
+ bar
+ }
+ @end example
+
+ where `@example' starts the line (without leading spaces).
+
+ . Use the `quote' option in @lilypond commands if possible.
+
+ . Do not compress the input vertically; this is, do not use
+
+ Beginning of logical unit
+ @example
+ ...
+ @end example
+ continuation of logical unit
+
+ but
+
+ Beginning of logical unit
+
+ @example
+ ...
+ @end example
+
+ @noindent
+ continuation of logical unit
+
+ This makes it easier to not forget `@noindent'.
+
+ . Non-ASCII characters which are in utf-8 should be directly used;
+ this is, don't say `Ba@ss{}tuba' but `Baßtuba'. This ensures that
+ all such characters appear in all output formats.
