\begin //
[from the LaTeX command] With \end, used humorously in writing to indicate a context or to remark on the surrounded text. For example:
\begin{flame}
Predicate logic is the only good programming
language. Anyone who would use anything else
is an idiot. Also, all computers should be
tredecimal instead of binary.
\end{flame}
The Scribe users at CMU and elsewhere used to use @Begin/@End in
an identical way (LaTeX was built to resemble Scribe). On Usenet,
this construct would more frequently be rendered as <FLAME
ON> and <FLAME OFF>, or #ifdef FLAME and
#endif FLAME. Recently the pseudo-HTML form <flame>
... </flame> has become popular.
