Conventions

You will also find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Open the index.html file in the code editor."

A block of code is set as follows:

var matchingGame = {};
matchingGame.deck = [
  'cardAK', 'cardAK',
  'cardAQ', 'cardAQ',
  'cardAJ', 'cardAJ',
  'cardBK', 'cardBK',
  'cardBQ', 'cardBQ',
  'cardBJ', 'cardBJ',
];

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

$(function(){
  matchingGame.deck.sort(shuffle);

  for(var i=0;i<11;i++){
    $(".card:first-child").clone().appendTo("#cards");
  }

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "In MAC, click on the Get the code tab and you will see the following screenshot; this shows a guide on how to embed this font into our web page."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
