Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text 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: "Finally, to run the migrations, we need to execute the Drush command migrate-manifest."

A block of code is set as follows:

# Example for Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration
d7_cm_example_settings
d7_cm_example_block
d7_block
d7_filter_format

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "On this page, you simply select Simple configuration as the configuration type, paste the copied configuration value into the text area, and click on Import."
