Conventions Used in This Book
The following formatting conventions are used in this book:
- Italic
Used for file and directory names, pathnames, names of Slash modules and packages, and for important terms when they are first introduced
-
Constant width Used for configuration variable names, literal values, database table names, names of Slash functions, and command lines and options that should be typed verbatim
-
Constant width italic Used for replaceable arguments within a variable name or a command line
-
Constant width bold Used in text that is typed in code examples by the user
To distinguish between Slash elements and non-Slash elements, certain elements within Slash (such as a Story, Topic, or Section) are uppercased. For example, a book author would be lowercased, but an Author on a Slash system is uppercased.
