\begin //
[from the LaTeX command] With \end, used humorously in writing to indicate a context or to remark on the surrounded text. For example:
\begin{flame} Predicate logic is the only good programming language. Anyone who would use anything else is an idiot. Also, all computers should be tredecimal instead of binary. \end{flame}
The Scribe users at CMU and elsewhere used to use @Begin/@End in
an identical way (LaTeX was built to resemble Scribe). On Usenet,
this construct would more frequently be rendered as <FLAME
ON>
and <FLAME OFF>
, or #ifdef FLAME
and
#endif FLAME
. Recently the pseudo-HTML form <flame>
... </flame>
has become popular.
