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: "In order to start XAMPP for Windows, you can execute xampp-control.exe."

A block of code is set as follows:

<theme xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Config/etc/theme.xsd">
    <title>Magento Luma</title>
    <parent>Magento/blank</parent>
    <media>
        <preview_image>media/preview.jpg</preview_image>
    </media>
</theme>

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

<Magento root directory>/app/design/frontend/Packt

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

<Magento root directory>/app/design/frontend/Packt/basic

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: "Complete the installation by pressing the Finish button."
