Conventions Used in This Book
Because DVD Studio Pro provides multiple methods for performing the same action (such as menu items or keyboard shortcuts), this book provides these alternatives when introducing new operations. You can use the main menus, or a right-click context menu, or a fly-out palette menu, or a dedicated button or tool in a window.
Menu commands are given in hierarchical order, with a → preceding each new appearance of a cascading menu, like this: Image → Adjustments → Levels. If a menu appears from a palette or dialog menu, the name of the menu or dialog will precede the name of the command hierarchy.
The following typographical conventions are used in this book:
- Italic
Indicates new terms, URLs, email addresses, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, directories, and Unix utilities.
-
Constant width Indicates commands, options, switches, variables, attributes, keys, functions, types, classes, namespaces, methods, modules, properties, parameters, values, objects, events, event handlers, HTML tags, macros, the contents of files, or the output from commands.
-
Constant width bold Shows summaries, or indicates text that should be typed literally by the user.
