Conventions: Fonts and symbols

Font and symbol conventions are classified as:

• General font conventions
• Conventions in syntax explanations

These conventions are described below.

General font conventions

The following table lists the general font conventions:

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, bold is used in sentences such as the following: 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 provided by the user or system. Italics are also used for emphasis. For example: Write the command as follows: copy source-file target-file 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.

Examples of coding and messages appear as follows (although there may be some exceptions, such as when coding is included in a diagram):

MakeDatabase
...
StoreDatabase temp DB32

In examples of coding, an ellipsis (...) indicates that one or more lines of coding are not shown for purposes of brevity.

Conventions in syntax explanations

Syntax definitions appear as follows:

StoreDatabase [temp|perm] (database-name ...)

The following table lists the conventions used in syntax explanations:

Example font or symbol	Convention
StoreDatabase	Code-font characters must be entered exactly as shown.
database-name	This font style marks a placeholder that indicates where appropriate characters are to be entered in an actual command.
SD	Bold code-font characters indicate the abbreviation for a command.
perm	Underlined characters indicate the default value.
[ ]	Square brackets enclose an item or set of items whose specification is optional.
|	Only one of the options separated by a vertical bar can be specified at the same time.
...	An ellipsis (...) indicates that the item or items enclosed in ( ) or [ ] immediately preceding the ellipsis may be specified as many times as necessary.
()	Parentheses indicate the range of items to which the vertical bar (|) or ellipsis (...) is applicable.
{ }	One of the items enclosed in curly brackets and separated by a vertical bar must be specified.
