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 next steps involve a series of updates to the web.xml file". A block of code is set as follows:

 //build.gradle:
    dependencies {
        compile "org.springframework.security:spring-security-  
        config:${springSecurityVersion}"
        compile "org.springframework.security:spring-security- 
        core:${springSecurityVersion}"
        compile "org.springframework.security:spring-security- 
        web:${springSecurityVersion}"
        ...
    }

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

 [default]
 exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1|30)
 exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
 exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)
 exten => i,1,Voicemail(s0)

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

$ ./gradlew idea

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: "In Microsoft Windows, you can view some of the ACL capabilities of a file by right-clicking on a file and examining its security properties (Properties | Security), as shown in the following screenshot".

Warnings or important notes appear like this.

Tips and tricks appear like this.
