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: “Select eth0 (or eth1 based on your configuration).”

A block of code is set as follows:

#include <Windows.h>
Int main(void) {
MessageBoxA(0, “hi there.”, “info”, 0);
return 0;
}

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

#include <Windows.h>
Int main(void) {
MessageBoxA(0, “hi there.”, “info”, 0);
return 0;
}

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

$ mkdir css
$ cd css

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: “Go to the Plans and Pricing section situated on the left under the Management header.”
