1.3 Naming conventions and marks
We have some conventions especially on naming that are intended to be consistent throughout this manual.
Manufacturer and product names are formatted in accordance with the standard rules of English grammar, e.g. \Toshiba playback is currently unsupported". Manufacturer and model names are proper nouns, and thus are written beginning with a capital letter.
This manual has some parts that are marked with icons on the margin to help you nding important parts or parts you could skip. The following icons are used:
Note: This indicates a note. A note starts always with the text \Note". For easier nding of notes we have put this an icon in the margin like here. Notes are used to mark information that could help you or indicate a possible \weirdness" in rockbox that would be explained.
Warning: This is a warning. In contrast to notes mentioned above, a warning should be taken more seriously. While ignoring notes will not cause any serious damage ignoring warnings could cause serious damage. If you are new to rockbox you should really read the warnings before doing anything that is warned about.
This icon marks a section that is intended especially for the blind and visually impaired. As they cannot read the manual in the same way sighted people do we have added some additional descriptions. If you are not blind or visually impaired you most likely can completely skip these blocks. To make this easier, there is an icon shown in the margin on the right.
Links to the wiki are abbreviated by the name of the wiki page. Those names are still linked so you can simply follow them like any other link in this manual. If you want to access a wiki page manually go to Z http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/ and type the page name in the \Go" box at the top of the page. Links to wiki pages are also indicated by the symbol Z in front of the page name.
