Typeface Conventions

Table 1

Convention	Description
italic font	Information you supply, either in syntax
	examples or in text descriptions. For example, if
	told to type: filename, you supply an actual file
	name like sample. Italics are also used for
	emphasis, and for Titles of Books.
typewriter font	Computer commands or other information that
	must be typed exactly as shown. For example, if
	told to type: sample, you type exactly the word
	in typewriter font, sample. Menu selections are
	in typewriter font separated by colons. See
	"Menu Conventions" in this chapter.
boldface font	A term that may need further clarification or
	definition, especially a familiar word (such as
	menu) used with a computer-specific meaning.
	These terms are clarified in the glossary.
[…]	Optional parameters in syntax examples are
	enclosed in brackets.
KeyCap	Represents a key on your keyboard that you
	must press, or an on-screen button that you
	must select, as part of the operation. For
	example, Return is the "Carriage Return" key,
	which completes a command input. This key
	may be labelled "RETURN", "Return", or "Enter".
Key1-Key2	A hyphen between keys indicates that two or
	more keys must be pressed at the same time.
	For example, "Control-C" means to press and
	hold the Control key while pressing and
	releasing the C key. The Control key may be
	labelled "CTRL", "Ctrl", or "Control".
