Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “You should see both the New Employee and Termination issue types.”

A block of code is set as follows:

<Resource name="mail/JiraMailServer"
  auth="Container"
  type="javax.mail.Session"

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

<security-constraint>
  <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>all-except-attachments</web-resource-name>
    <url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

  create database jiradb character set utf8;

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “There is a Create another option beside the Create button.”
