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: "You will see drupal-org.make and drupal-org-core.make."

A block of code is set as follows:

 public function alterRoutes(RouteCollection $collection) { 
    // Change path of mymodule.mypage to use a hyphen 
    if ($route = $collection->get('mymodule.mypage')) 

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

  $ CREATE USER username@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

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: "Check the checkbox and click on Install."

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
