-
Used for HTML tags and to show the contents of files and the output from commands. Constant width bold -
Used for emphasis in code examples and for text that should be typed literally by the user. - Menus/navigation
-
Menus and their options are presented in the text as File Open, Edit Copy, and so on. Arrows are also used to signify navigation paths when using window options; for example, Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Internet Explorer Remove means that you should launch the Control Panel, click the icon for Add/Remove Programs, select Internet Explorer, and then click Remove (if only Microsoft really made it that easy!). - Pathnames
-
Pathnames are used to show the location of a file or application in the filesystem. Folders are separated by backward slashes. For example, if you're told to "launch the Firefox application (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox)," that means you can find the Firefox application in the Mozilla subfolder of the Program Files folder. | This signifies a tip, suggestion, or general note. |
