Typographical Conventions

The DataBlade Module Installation and Registration Guide uses a standard set of typographical conventions to introduce new terms, illustrate screen displays, and so forth. The following typographical conventions are used throughout this guide.


Convention	Meaning
italics	Within text, new terms and emphasized words are shown in italics. In command descriptions, metavariables that you must replace with actual data are also shown in italics.
boldface	Identifiers, filenames, database names, menu items, command names, and other similar terms are shown in boldface.
`monospace`	Information that programs display, information that you enter, and program code examples are printed in a monospace typeface.
`KEYWORD`	All keywords appear in uppercase characters.

Tip: When you are instructed to "enter" characters or to "execute" a command, immediately press RETURN after the entry. When you are instructed to "type" the text or to "press" other keys, no RETURN is required.
