Document Conventions Used in This GuideMonospaced 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.
In this example, ./pssetup is what you would type from the command line and the rest is what would appear as a result.
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.
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 xx command described as follows:
xx [options] [action] [component]
The presence of [options], [arguments], and [component] indicates that there are optional parameters that may be added to the xx command.
