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 can use ConfigureAppConfiguration to configure the app configuration."

A block of code is set as follows:

builder.Configuration.AddJsonFile(
        "appsettings.json",
        optional: false,
        reloadOnChange: true);

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

builder.Logging.AddConfiguration(builder.Configuration.
GetSection("Logging"));
builder.Logging.AddConsole();
builder.Logging.AddDebug();

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

cd LoggingSample
code .

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: "Click on Register in the upper left-hand corner, you will see the following page."
