Conventions Used in This Book

The following typographical conventions are used in this book:

Constant Width

indicates command-line computer output, keyboard accelerators (e.g, Ctrl-Alt-Del), code examples, registry keys, syntax prototypes, menu instructions, and HTML attributes and tags (e.g., WIDTH attribute).

Constant Width Bold

indicates commands in examples that need to be entered by the user.

Constant Width italic

indicates variables in examples and in registry keys. A variable or word tagged with this style is a signal that the word needs to be replaced by another word.

is used to introduce new terms, to indicate URLs, variables or user-defined files and directories, commands, file extensions, filenames, directory or folder names, and UNC pathnames.
