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: “To identify the current file, this gets renamed work-in-progress.docx.”

A block of code is set as follows:

{
    'Brand': 'BMW',
    'Color': 'blue',
    'year of manufacture': '2020',
    'type of vehicle': 'SUV'
}

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

{
    'Brand': 'BMW',
    'Color': 'blue',
    'year of manufacture': '2020',
    'type of vehicle': 'SUV'
}

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Click on the dropdown for the All available entry and change this to Only the first.”
