Conventions Used in This Book

The following typographical conventions are used in this book:

Italic

Used to indicate new terms, URLs, filenames, file extensions, and directories. For example, a path in the filesystem will appear as /Applications/Utilities.

Constant Width

Used to indicate commands, options, classes, keys, properties, utilities, and program names, and to show the contents of files or the output from commands.

Constant Width Bold

Used in examples and tables to show commands or other text that should be typed literally by the user.

Constant Width Italic

Used in examples and tables to show text that should be replaced with user-supplied values.

Menus/Navigation

Menus and their options are referred to in the text as File Open, Edit Copy, etc. Arrows are also used to signify a navigation path when using window options. For example, “System Preferences Desktop & Screen Saver Screen Saver” means that you would launch System Preferences, click the icon for the “Desktop & Screen Saver” preference panel, and then select the “Screen Saver” pane within that panel.

Pathnames

Pathnames are used to show the location of a file or application in the filesystem. Directories (or folders for Mac and Windows users) are separated by a forward slash. For example, if you see something like, “… launch the Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities)” in the text, this means the Terminal application can be found in the Utilities subfolder of the Applications folder.
