4. Document Conventions

This manual uses several conventions to highlight certain words and phrases and draw attention to

specific pieces of information.

In PDF and paper editions, this manual uses typefaces drawn from the Liberation Fonts set. T he

Liberation Fonts set is also used in HTML editions if the set is installed on your system. If not, alternative

but equivalent typefaces are displayed. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and later include the Liberation

Fonts set by default.

4.1. Typographic Conventions

Four typographic conventions are used to call attention to specific words and phrases. T hese

conventions, and the circumstances they apply to, are as follows.

Mono-spaced Bold

Used to highlight system input, including shell commands, file names and paths. Also used to highlight

keys and key combinations. For example:

To see the contents of the file my_next_bestselling_novel in your current working

directory, enter the cat m y_next_bestselling_novel command at the shell prompt

and press Enter to execute the command.

The above includes a file name, a shell command and a key, all presented in mono-spaced bold and all

distinguishable thanks to context.

Key combinations can be distinguished from an individual key by the plus sign that connects each part of

a key combination. For example:

Press Enter to execute the command.

Press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to switch to a virtual terminal.

The first example highlights a particular key to press. T he second example highlights a key combination:

a set of three keys pressed simultaneously.

If source code is discussed, class names, methods, functions, variable names and returned values

mentioned within a paragraph will be presented as above, in m ono-spaced bold. For example:

File-related classes include filesystem for file systems, file for files, and dir for

directories. Each class has its own associated set of permissions.

Proportional Bold

This denotes words or phrases encountered on a system, including application names; dialog box text;
