@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 (like
@math{\alpha, \beta}).
@*It 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 a @ref constructs for references (like @pxref{mtripple})
         @* Use @code  for typewriter font (like @code{i_1})
         @* Use @math  for simple math mode typesetting (like @math{i_1}).
         @* Note: No parenthesis like } are allowed inside @math and @code
         @* Use @example for indented preformatted text typeset in typewriter
         font like
@example
         this  --> that
@end example
        Use @format  for preformatted text typeset 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
        Notice that
        automatic linebreaking         is still in affect (like on this line).
