Conventions used in this guide
The following typographical conventions are used in this guide:
■
Code
font indicates code fragments and API literals, including class names, method
names, function names, type names, scripts, SQL statements, and both HTML and XML
tag and attribute names.
■
Italic code
font indicates replaceable items in code.
■
The continuation symbol (
¬
) indicates that a long line of code has been broken across two
or more lines. Due to margin limits in this guide’s format, what is otherwise a continuous
line of code must be split. When copying the lines of code, eliminate the continuation
symbol, and type the lines as one line.
■
Curly braces ({ }) that surround a function argument indicate that the argument is
optional.
■
Function names that have the prefix
dreamweaver.
as in
dreamweaver. funcname
, can be
abbreviated to
dw. funcname
when you are writing code. This manual uses the full

the shorter
dw.
prefix, however.
The following naming conventions are used in this guide:
