Mongrel. Serving, Deploying, and Extending Your Ruby Applications

1.1. The Format of This Short Cut

This short cut uses the common formatting conventions to represent code, filenames, and so on. If you have never read a book on software before, the following description will prove essential.

Indented blocks of code or shell commands will appear in a fixed-width font:

uri '/', :handler => DirHandler.new('/var/www/opinions/')

A reference to a file, function, or class within a sentencelike HttpHandler, mongrel.log, or some_function(param)will be in italics.
