@small… Block CommandsIn addition to the regular @example and @lisp commands,
Texinfo has “small” example-style commands. These are
@smalldisplay, @smallexample, @smallformat, and
@smalllisp.
In TeX, the @small… commands typeset text in a smaller
font than the non-small example commands. Consequently, many examples
containing long lines fit on a page without needing to be shortened.
In Info, the @small… commands are equivalent to their
non-small companion commands.
Mark the end of an @small… block with a corresponding
@end small…. For example, pair @smallexample with
@end smallexample.

The @small… commands make it easier to prepare manuals
without forcing you to edit examples by hand to fit them onto narrower
pages.
As a general rule, a printed document looks better if you use only one
of (for example) @example or in @smallexample
consistently within a chapter. Only occasionally should you mix the two
formats.
See section Printing “Small” Books, for more information
about the @smallbook command.
