- About This Guide (this chapter)
Document ConventionsMonospaced Font
Monospaced font is used for any text that appears on the computer screen or text that you should type. It is also used for file names, distinguished names, functions, and examples.
Bold Monospaced Font
Bold monospaced font is used to represent text within a code example that you should type. For example, you might see something like this:
./setup
In this example, ./setup is what you would type from the command line.
Italicized Font
Italicized font is used to represent text that you enter using information that is unique to your installation (for example, variables). It is used for server paths and names and account IDs.
In the following URL, webserver and webserverport are variables:
http://webserver:webserverport
When you enter your information, substitute your web server name and web server port where the words webserver and webserverport appear italicized. For example, if your web server name is i-zed, and the web server port is 9980, then the URL you would enter is:
http://i-zed:9980
Square or Straight Brackets
Square (or straight) brackets [] are used to enclose optional parameters. For example, in this document you will see the usage for the setup command described as follows:
./setup [options] [argument]
It is possible to run the setup command by itself as follows to start the Instant Messaging installation:
./setup
However, the presence of [options] and [arguments] indicates that there are additional optional parameters that may be added to the setup command. For example, you could use setup command with the -nodisplay option to do an installation from the command line:
./setup -nodisplay
Command-Line Prompts
Command-line prompts (for example, % for a C-Shell, or $ for a Korn or Bourne shell) are not displayed in the examples. Depending on which operating system environment you are using, you will see a variety of different command-line prompts. However, you should enter the command as it appears in the document unless specifically noted otherwise.
