Text formatting

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

bold text	Identifies command names
	Identifies 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

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.
