Conventions
Conventions
This book, and the other books in this series, follow some conventions for structuring information.
Headings
Every chapter starts with a brief description of the information you can find in that chapter, which correlates with the major headings in that chapter. Each major heading corresponds to a task or concept that is important for you to understand. Headings are of a different size and type to make them easy to skim, whether you are viewing an online or print copy of this document.
Typeface
This book uses the following typeface conventions:
Bold | Used for the names of screen elements like buttons, |
| example, when you are done with a dialog, you would click the OK button. |
Code | Used for text a user must type to use the product. |
Italic | Used for book titles, variables, and important term. |
Hyperlink | Used for web site and cross reference links. |
Cross References
When a topic is covered in depth elsewhere in this guide, or in another book in this series, a cross reference to the other information will be provided. Cross references within this book will take the form: “for more information about conventions, see page 6, Conventions.” Cross references to other publications will take the form: “for more information about <topic>, see Publication Name.”
Messages
Messages are special text that are emphasized by font, format, and icons. There are four types of messages in this book:
•Warning
•Caution
•Note
•Tip
A description of each message type with an example message follows.
Warning
Warnings tell you how to avoid physical injury to people or equipment. For people, injury includes anything from temporary conditions, such as pain, to irreversible conditions such as death. For equipment, injury means anything requiring repair. Warnings tell you what you should or should not do, and the consequences of not heeding the warning.
