Typographic Conventions

Typographic Conventions
	Preface

The following table describes typographic conventions used in this guide.

Convention	Type of information
Italic font	Words or characters that require special attention. Placeholders for information you must supply. For example, if the guide says to enter the arp -d host_name command, you enter the characters arp -d followed by the actual name of the host.
Monospaced font	Command and daemon names. Information displayed on the system console or other computer monitors. The contents of files.
Bold monospaced font	Words or characters you type. What you type is always shown in lowercase letters, unless you must type it in uppercase letters.
<Text within angle brackets>	Placeholder text that describes command output. The text in the angle brackets appears in the interface as a label for information that is displayed as a result of the successful execution of the command.
