labeled buttons; check-box and radio button labels; menu titles and sub-menu titles. For example:

Choose System → Preferences → Mouse from the main menu bar to launch Mouse

Preferences. In the Buttons tab, select the Left-handed mouse check box and click

Close to switch the primary mouse button from the left to the right (making the mouse

suitable for use in the left hand).

To insert a special character into a gedit file, choose Applicat ions → Accessories →

Character Map menu bar, type the name of the character in the Search field and click

Next. T he character you sought will be highlighted in the Character T able. Double-click

this highlighted character to place it in the T ext to copy field and then click the Copy

The above text includes application names; system-wide menu names and items; application-specific

menu names; and buttons and text found within a GUI interface, all presented in proportional bold and all

distinguishable by context.

Mono-spaced Bold Italic or Proportional Bold Italic

Whether mono-spaced bold or proportional bold, the addition of italics indicates replaceable or variable

text. Italics denotes text you do not input literally or displayed text that changes depending on

circumstance. For example:

To connect to a remote machine using ssh, type ssh username@domain.name at a shell

prompt. If the remote machine is exam ple.com and your username on that machine is

john, type ssh john@ example.com .

The m ount -o remount file-system command remounts the named file system. For

example, to remount the /home file system, the command is m ount -o remount /hom e.

To see the version of a currently installed package, use the rpm -q package command. It

will return a result as follows: package-version-release.

Note the words in bold italics above — username, domain.name, file-system, package, version and

release. Each word is a placeholder, either for text you enter when issuing a command or for text

displayed by the system.

Aside from standard usage for presenting the title of a work, italics denotes the first use of a new and

important term. For example:

Publican is a DocBook publishing system.

4.2. Pull-quote Conventions

Terminal output and source code listings are set off visually from the surrounding text.

Output sent to a terminal is set in m ono-spaced rom an and presented thus:

books Desktop documentation drafts mss photos stuff svn

books_tests Desktop1 downloads images notes scripts svgs

Source-code listings are also set in m ono-spaced rom an but add syntax highlighting as follows:
