To display a block of text in a fixed-width font, use the .vb command to begin the block and .ve command to end the block. These commands, like the other dot commands, must begin in the first column. For example, to display two lines of shell commands, use this text in the structured comment:

 
.vb 
  cd . 
  echo "I'm here" 
.ve
