Texinfo provides commands for definitions that do not produce automatic index entries.
You create a generic definition environment with ‘@defblock’
paired with ‘@end defblock’. Within this environment, use a
@defline or @deftypeline line for each symbol you
document. For example:
@defblock
@defline Macro mac (arg1, arg2)
Description of mac.
@deftypeline Builtin int foo (int @var{bar})
Description of foo.
@end defblock
This produces the output:
Description of mac.
int foo (int bar)Description of foo.
The syntax of @defline is similar to that of @deffn.
The first argument gives a category for the definition. Follow this
with the symbol name, followed by any parameters. You should surround
any arguments containing spaces with braces.
You use @deftypeline in a similar way to @deftypefn,
following the category with a data type, and marking any parameters
with @var. (See Functions in Typed Languages).)
To share the same description for multiple symbols, you can put several
@defline lines together. For example:
@defblock
@defline Function set-var (value)
@defline {Settable Variable} var
Description of set-var and var.
@end defblock
This produces the output:
Description of set-var and var.
It may be useful to define line macros (see Line Macros) in combination with these commands.
