Standard Usage Conventions
Convention Explanation
Inline Code
Code appears in the text of the book to help explain application functionality.
The code appears in a special font that makes it easy to see. This monospaced font
also makes the code easier to read.
Inline Variable
As with source code, variable source code information that appears inline also
appears in a special font that makes it stand out from the rest of the text. When you
see monospaced text in an italic typeface, you can be sure it??™s a variable of some
type. Replace this variable with a specific value. The text will always provide
examples of specific values that you might use.
User Input
Sometimes I??™ll ask you to type something. For example, you might need to type a
particular value into the field of a dialog box. This special font helps you see what
you need to type.
Filename
A variable name is a value that you need to replace with something else. For
example, you might need to provide the name of your server as part of a command
line argument. Because I don??™t know the name of your server, I??™ll provide a variable
name instead. The variable name you??™ll see usually provides a clue as to what kind
of information you need to supply.
