##### 4.3.11`` Miscellaneous

> procedure (t pre-content ...) → paragraph?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Wraps the decoded pre-content as a paragraph.

> value etc : element?

Like "etc.", but with an abbreviation-ending period for use in the middle of a sentence.

> value PLaneT : element?

"PLaneT" (to help make sure you get the letters in the right case).

> procedure (hash-lang) → element?

Returns an element for #lang that is hyperlinked to an explanation.

> value void-const : element?

Returns an element for #<void>.

> value undefined-const : element?

Returns an element for #<undefined>.

> procedure (commandline pre-content ...) → paragraph?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Produces an inset command-line example (e.g., in typewriter font).

> procedure (centerline pre-flow ...) → nested-flow?
> pre-flow : pre-flow?

An alias for centered for backward compatibility.

> procedure (math pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : any/c

The decoded pre-content is further transformed:

- Any immediate 'rsquo is converted to 'prime.

- Parentheses and sequences of decimal digits in immediate strings are left as-is, but any other immediate string is italicized.

- When _ appears before a non-empty sequence of numbers and letters, the sequence is typeset as a subscript.

- When ^ appears before a non-empty sequence of numbers and letters, the sequence is typeset as a superscript.

> procedure (filebox filename pre-flow ...) → block?
> filename : (or/c string? element?)
> pre-flow : pre-flow?

Typesets the pre-flows as the content of filename. For example, the content may be inset on the page with filename above it. If filename is a string, it is passed to "filepath" to obtain an element.
