Conventions: Fonts and symbols

The following table explains the text formatting conventions used in this manual:

Font Convention
Bold Bold type indicates text on a window, other than the window title. Such text includes menus, menu options, buttons, radio box options, or explanatory labels. For example:
  • From the File menu, choose Open.
  • Click the Cancel button.
  • In the Enter name entry box, type your name.
Italics Italics are used to indicate a placeholder for some actual text to be provided by the user or system. For example:
  • Write the command as follows:
    copy source-file target-file
  • The following message appears:
    A file was not found. (file = file-name)
Italics are also used for emphasis. For example:
  • Do not delete the configuration file.
Code font A code font indicates text that the user enters without change, or text (such as messages) output by the system. For example:
  • At the prompt, enter dir.
  • Use the send command to send mail.
  • The following message is displayed:
    The password is incorrect.

The following table explains the symbols used in this manual:

Symbol Convention
| In syntax explanations, a vertical bar separates multiple items, and has the meaning of OR. For example:
A|B|C means A, or B, or C.
[ ] In syntax explanations, square brackets indicate that the enclosed item or items are optional. For example:
[A] means that you can specify A or nothing.
[B|C] means that you can specify B, or C, or nothing.
... In coding, an ellipsis (...) indicates that one or more lines of coding are not shown for purposes of brevity.
In syntax explanations, an ellipsis indicates that the immediately preceding item can be repeated as many times as necessary. For example:
A, B, B, ... means that, after you specify A, B, you can specify B as many times as necessary.
() Parentheses indicate the range of items to which the vertical bar (|) or ellipsis (...) is applicable.

Conventions: Version numbers

The version numbers of Hitachi program products are usually written as two sets of two digits each, separated by a hyphen. For example:

The version number might be shown on the spine of a manual as Ver. 2.00, but the same version number would be written in the program as 02-00.
