Hello.
It could say, ``You will see the number @code{4} (and other details in a list) appear in the echo area.''
#+NAME: emacs-lisp-intro.texi
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1257) If you are reading this inside of GNU Emacs in Info, here is how you can
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1258) evaluate such a list: place your cursor immediately after the right
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1259) hand parenthesis of the following list and then type @kbd{C-x C-e}:
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1260)
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1261) @smallexample
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1262) (+ 2 2)
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1263) @end smallexample
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1264)
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1265) @c use code for the number four, not samp.
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1266) @noindent
ef7dbdf5 (Paul Eggert 2015-09-15 1267) You will see the number @code{4} appear in the echo area. (What
ef7dbdf5 (Paul Eggert 2015-09-15 1268) you have just done is evaluate the list. The echo area
ef7dbdf5 (Paul Eggert 2015-09-15 1269) is the line at the bottom of the screen that displays or echoes
8cda6f8f (Glenn Morris 2007-09-06 1270) text.) Now try the same thing with a quoted list: place the cursor
;; `C-x C-e' produces in the echo area `4 (#o4, #x4, ?\C-d)'
;; `C-u C-x C-e' produces `4'
