Document conventions

This section describes text formatting conventions and important notice formats used in this document.

Text formatting

The narrative-text formatting conventions that are used are as follows:

bold text	Identifies command names
	Identifies the names of user-manipulated GUI elements
	Identifies keywords and operands
	Identifies text to enter at the GUI or CLI
italic text	Provides emphasis
	Identifies variables
	Identifies paths and Internet addresses
	Identifies document titles
code text	Identifies CLI output
	Identifies command syntax examples

For readability, command names in the narrative portions of this guide are presented in mixed lettercase: for example, switchShow. In actual examples, command lettercase is often all lowercase. Otherwise, this manual specifically notes those cases in which a command is case sensitive.

Command syntax conventions

Command syntax in this manual follows these conventions:

command	Commands are printed in bold.
--option, option	Command options are printed in bold.
-argument, arg	Arguments.
[ ]	Optional element.
variable	Variables are printed in italics. In the help pages, values are underlined or
	enclosed in angled brackets < >.
