Typographic Conventions

The following typographic conventions are used in this guide:

Convention	Description

braces { }	Braces indicate required items: `.DEFINE {macro1}`
brackets [ ]	Brackets indicate optional items: `cvtcrt` `termname` `[``outfile``]`
ellipses ...	Horizontal ellipses indicate an arbitrary number of similar items: `CHKVAL fieldname` `value1 value2 ... valueN`
xertical ellipses . . .	Vertical ellipsis points in a code example mean that information not directly related to the example has been omitted.
