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: "The LuaScriptUtilities header defines the metatable name of the vector type."

A block of code is set as follows:

local function CallCallbacks(callbacks, stateName, looping)
    for index = 1, #callbacks do
        callbacks[index].callback(
            stateName, looping, callbacks[index].data);
    end
end

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: "Open the Settings menu under the Project menu."
