Like elem, but adds an 'aux style property.

> procedure (defterm pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Typesets the decoded pre-content as a defined term (e.g., in italic). Consider using deftech instead, though, so that uses of tech can hyper-link to the definition.

Typesets the content as a command line (e.g., in typewriter font).

> procedure (envvar pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Typesets the given decoded pre-content as an environment variable (e.g., in typewriter font). See also indexed-envvar.

> procedure (Flag pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Typesets the given decoded pre-content as a flag (e.g., in typewriter font with a leading -).

> procedure (DFlag pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Typesets the given decoded pre-content a long flag (e.g., in typewriter font with two leading -s).

> procedure (PFlag pre-content ...) → element?
> pre-content : pre-content?

Typesets the given decoded pre-content as a + flag (e.g., in typewriter font with a leading +).
