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: “In this example, we can see that a combination of hellopixi
and user@acme.com
resulted in a 200 OK
status code and the return of a JWT.”
A block of code is set as follows:
<note> <to>Colin</to> <priority>High</priority> <heading>Reminder</heading> <body>Learn about API security</body> </note>
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
{ "openapi": "3.0.0", "info": { "version": "1.0.0", "title": "Swagger Petstore", "license": { "name": "MIT" }
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
colind@mbm: ~ # sudo nmap -sn 192.168.9.0/24
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: "YAML Ain’t Markup Language (YAML) is another common internet format, similar to JSON in its design goals".
