No.  @example is a directive which tells Texinfo (and eventually tells
TeX) to typeset the enclosed block in typewriter font, suitable for
code samples, and also to stop filling the lines.  In other words,
it's the same as the <pre>...</pre> block in HTML.  It does NOT say
that this is an example; in fact the @example part disappears from the
output entirely.

We put usage examples in the Example section.  If there's no such
section, just add it.

I suggest to look at existing *.txh files for inspiration.
