Constant Width ItalicUsed for replaceable parameters or optional elements when showing a command's syntax.
Constant Width BoldUsed for commands that should be typed verbatim, and for emphasis within program code and configuration files.
Unix/Linux commands that can be typed by a regular user are
preceded with a regular prompt, ending with $. Commands that must be
typed as root are preceded with a "root" prompt,
ending with a #. In real life, it is better to use the
sudo command wherever possible to avoid logging in
as root. Both kinds of prompts indicate the
username, the current host, and the current working directory (for
example: root@xena:/var/llibtftpboot#).
