-\chapterdef{examples}
-
-This section of the book contains a set of examples
-to help get you started and to show you how to do various things with \TeX.
-Each example has \TeX\ output on the left-hand page and the \TeX \
-input that led to that output on the right-hand page.
-You can use these examples both as forms to imitate and
-as a way of finding the
-\TeX\ commands that you need in order to achieve a particular effect.
-However, these examples can illustrate only a few of the
-about $900$ \TeX\ commands.
-
-Some of the examples are self-descriptive---that is, they discuss the very
-features of \TeX\ that they are illustrating. These discussions are
-necessarily sketchy because there isn't room in the examples for all the
-information you'd need. The capsule summary of commands
-(\chapterref{capsule})
-and the index will help you
-locate the complete explanation of every \TeX\ feature shown in the
-examples.
-
-Because we've designed the examples to illustrate
-many things at once, some examples contain a great variety of
-typographical effects. These examples generally are \emph{not} good
-models of typographical practice. For instance, Example~8 has some of its
-equation numbers on the left and some on the right. You'd never want to
-do that in a real publication.
-
-\xrdef{xmphead}
-Each example except for the first one starts with a macro (see
-\xref{macro}) named |\xmpheader|. We've used |\xmpheader| in order to
-conserve space in the input, since without it each example would have
-several lines of material you'd already seen.
-|\xmpheader| produces the title of an example and the
-extra space that goes with it. You can see in the first example
-what |\xmpheader| does, so you can imitate it if you wish.
-Except for |\xmpheader|, every command that we use in these examples is
-defined in \plainTeX.
-
-% The first example does the necessary eject here.
-{%
- \let\bye = \relax % We don't want to obey \bye in the example input.
- % These switches can't be done by a macro since \bye is outer.
- \doexamples {xmptext}% Typeset the actual examples.
-}%
