Convention Use ‹‹ Indicates an introductory page. This symbol appears next to a slide title when additional information on the topic is covered on the page or pages that follow it. bold Represents commands, command options, and portions of syntax that must be typed exactly as shown. It also indicates commands on menus and buttons, icons, dialog box titles and options, and icon and menu names. italic In syntax statements, indicates placeholders for variable information. Italic is also used for introducing new terms, for book titles, and for emphasis in the text. Title Capitals Indicate domain names, user names, computer names, directory names, folders, and file names, except when specifically referring to case-sensitive names. Unless otherwise indicated, you can use lowercase letters when you type a directory name or file name in a dialog box or at a command prompt. ALL CAPITALS Indicate the names of keys, key sequences, and key combinations — for example, ALT+SPACEBAR. PRQRVSDFH# Represents code samples, examples of screen text, or entries that you type at a command prompt or in initialization files. [ ] In syntax statements, enclose optional items. For example, [filename] in command syntax indicates that you can choose to type a file name with the command. Type only the information within the brackets, not the brackets themselves. { } In syntax statements, enclose required items. Type only the information within the braces, not the braces themselves. | In syntax statements, separates an either/or choice. Ç Indicates a procedure with sequential steps. In syntax statements, specifies that the preceding item may be repeated. . . . Represents an omitted portion of a code sample. .
