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: "Mount the downloaded WebStorm-10*.dmg disk image file as another disk in your system."

A block of code is set as follows:

<Header>
    <Title>API Method Timer</Title>
    <Shortcut>apitimer</Shortcut>
    <Description>Leverages System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch to log how long it took to execute a method.</Description>
</Header>

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

<LanguageTag>C#</LanguageTag>
<PlatformTag>windows</PlatformTag>
<ProjectTypeTag>console</ProjectTypeTag>
<ProjectTypeTag>desktop</ProjectTypeTag> 
<ProjectTypeTag>TipTrick</ProjectTypeTag>

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

$ git config --global init.defaultBranch main

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "To see the installed keyboard mapping schemes in Visual Studio 2019 for Windows, navigate to the Tools Menu | Options | Environment | Keyboard dialog."
