Description
Bold
This typeface is used for names of, for instance, windows, buttons,
and labels when these names appear on the screen (example: the
Alarms Browser
window). When it is clear that we are referring to, for
instance, a button, the name is used alone (example: Click
OK
).
Monospacing font
in bold
This typeface is used for words to be typed in exactly as they are
shown in the text (example: In the
Address
field, type
http://
ucs01.ucs:9080/
).
Monospacing font
This typeface is used for messages, prompts, and other text displayed
on the computer screen (example:
A new trap destination has
been added
).
<Monospacing font
in bold Italic>
This typeface is used with angle brackets as placeholders for a specif-
ic member of the group that the words represent (example:
<router
number>
).
NOTICE:
In sequences to be typed in, the angle brackets
are omitted to avoid confusion whether to include the angle
brackets in the text to be typed.
CAPITAL LETTERS
This typeface is used for keyboard keys (example: Press Y, and then
press ENTER).
Italic
This typeface is used for citations. A citation usually is the name of a
document or a phrase from another document (example:
Dimetra IP
