int: @math{i+i+i}
@item @strong{Note:}
Help is in pure Texinfo.
@*This help string is written in texinfo, which enables you to use,
among others, the @@math command for mathematical typesetting
(for instance, to print @math{\alpha, \beta}).
@*Texinfo also gives more control over the layout, but is, admittingly,
more cumbersome to write.

proc msum(list #)
"USAGE:  msum([i_1,..,i_n]); @code{i_1,..,i_n} def
RETURN:  Sum of int arguments
NOTE:    This help string is written in a mixture of ASCII and texinfo.
         @* Use @ref for references (e.g.,  @pxref{mtriple}).
         @* Use @code for typewriter font (e.g., @code{i_1}).
         @* Use @math for simple math mode typesetting (e.g., @math{i_1}).
         @* Warning: Parenthesis like } are not allowed inside @math and @code.
         @* Use @example for indented, preformatted text typesetting in
         typewriter font:
@example
         this  --> that
@end example
        Use @format for preformatted text typesetting in normal font:
@format
         this --> that
@end format
        Use @texinfo for text in pure texinfo:
@texinfo
@expansion{}
@tex
$i_{1,1}$
@end tex

@end texinfo
        Note that
        automatic linebreaking         is still in affect (like in this line).
