Formatting Conventions

Throughout this website some formatting conventions are used. Although conventions are nice, these rules are regrettably not strictly adhered too…

  • where possible sysman pages link to each other (see World Wide Web)
  • also where possible links are provided to external pages as not to duplicate information (e.g. WikipediA)
  • abbreviations are linked to and explained in the useful abbreviations page
  • boldface is used for important keywords or accentuation
  • italics is used for new concepts and words or phrases in other languages
  • monotype is used for computer names, computer code and computer programs
    • $ <command> the dollar sign indicates the shell prompt after which commands can be given
    • # <comment> the hash tag indicates a comment to clarify code or commands
    • \ the backslash is used for clarity in the code. It is a valid character in most shells to indicate a new line in a command line
  • call-outs are used to emphasize important notes or concepts, some examples
