Documentation Conventions
File and directory paths are given in Windows format (with backslashes separating directory names). For Unix versions, the directory paths are the same, except that slashes are used instead of backslashes to separate directories.This guide uses URLs of the form:
In these URLs, server is the name of server on which you run your application; domain is your Internet domain name; path is the directory structure on the server; and file is an individual filename. Italic items in URLs are placeholders.
- http://server.domain/path/file.html
This guide uses the following font conventions:
The monospace font is used for sample code and code listings, API and language elements (such as function names and class names), file names, pathnames, directory names, and HTML tags.
Italic type is used for book titles, variables and placeholders, and words used in the literal sense.
