The issue is that it doesn't allow for imbrication of 'preformatted' styles. For example @example The example @display this part is displayed @end display End of the example @end example Also other kind of nesting wouldn't be that good if the indentation was done for each preformatted fragment. For example for a @multitable in @example, I think that it is better to indent the whole @example and not the individual preformatted fragments in the @multitable. To be honest, this is not clear that this is correct texinfo, but such constructs happen in manuals. -- Pat
