Conventions Used
Code in text
: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and X (formerly Twitter) handles. Here is an example: “The COUNT
function takes a single input of any data type and counts the number of items input (excluding null
values). It is formatted as COUNT(value)
and the example field with the values 1
, null
, and 3
would be formatted as COUNT([Field])
and would return 2
.”
Bold: This indicates a definition or an important word or words that you see on screen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Scroll down on the release page to the Download files section and click either the Windows or Mac download link to start the installation application download.”
A block of code is set as follows:
IF test1 THEN output1
[ELSEIF test THEN outputn]
[ELSE defaultoutput]
END
