Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish among 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: "Getting the .vimrc setup the way you like."

A block of code is set as follows:

default=0
timeout=5
hiddenmenu
password --md5 <password-hash>

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

# vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
# service httpd restart
w3m localhost
