  These commands, in both the argument form and the declaration form,
! are cumulative; e.g.,, you can say either @code{\sffamily\bfseries} or
  @code{\bfseries\sffamily} to get bold sans serif.
  
  You can alternatively use an environment form of the declarations; for
  instance, @code{\begin at domain.hid@}}.

! These commands automatically handle italic corrections, 
! a small amount of space that is specified for each character by the 
! font designer to be inserted between different styles of text, such as if 
! roman text follows italics (@pxref{\/}).
! They will include this space unless the following character is in the 
! list @code{\nocorrlist}, which by default consists of a period and
! a comma.
! To suppress the automatic insertion of italic correction,
! use @code{\nocorr}
! at the start or end of the command argument, as with 
! @code{\textit at domain.hid text@}} or @code{\textsc at domain.hid \nocorr@}}.
