Conventions

In this book, you will 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: "Aptitude is a Linux package manager that comes shipped with Ubuntu."

A block of code is set as follows:

  ssl  on;
  ssl_certificate  /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key  /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key;

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

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "The next screen that you get asks you to configure Redmine automatically; choose <Yes>."
