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: “Since all .NET MAUI programs start with the MauiProgram.cs file, that seems like a good place to start.”

A block of code is set as follows:

.keypad {
    width: 300px;
    margin: auto;
    margin-top: -1.1em;
}

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

    builder.Services.AddMauiBlazorWebView();
#if DEBUG
    builder.Services.AddBlazorWebViewDeveloperTools();
    builder.Logging.AddDebug();
#endif

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

$ mkdir ViewModels
$ cd ViewModels

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: “Open Visual Studio 2022 and select Create a new project.”
