Documentation conventions
Following are all the special characters and typographical conventions used in this manual:
Note:
In a menu-item path, include a space before and after each “>” character.
Convention
Meaning
Monospace text
Represents text that appears on your computer’s screen, or that could
appear on your computer’s screen.
Boldface
mono-space
text
Represents characters that you enter exactly as shown (unless the
characters are also in
italics
—see Italics, below). If you could
enter the characters but are not specifically instructed to, they do not
appear in boldface.
Italics
Represent variable information. Do not enter the words themselves in
the command. Enter the information they represent. In ordinary text,
italics are used for titles of publications, for some terms that would
otherwise be in quotation marks, and to show emphasis.
[ ]
Square brackets indicate an optional argument you might add to a
command. To include such an argument, type only the information
inside the brackets. Do not type the brackets unless they appear in bold
type.
|
Separates command choices that are mutually exclusive.
>
Points to the next level in the path to a parameter or menu item. The
item that follows the angle bracket is one of the options that appears
when you select the item that precedes the angle bracket.
Key1-Key2
Represents a combination keystroke. To enter a combination
keystroke, press the first key and hold it down while you press one or
more other keys. Release all the keys at the same time. (For example,
Ctrl-H means hold down the Control key and press the H key.)
Press Enter
Means press the Enter, or Return, key or its equivalent on your
computer.
Note:
Introduces important additional information.
