Typographical Conventions
This section describes the text formatting conventions used in this guide and a description
of notes, warnings, and important messages. This guide uses the following typographical
conventions:
● Bold typeface in this font indicates keyboard key names (such as Tab or Enter) and
the names of windows, menu commands, buttons, and other Sonic user interface
elements. For example, “From the File menu, choose Open.”
● Bold typeface in this font emphasizes new terms when they are introduced.
● Monospace typeface indicates text that might appear on a computer screen other than
the names of Sonic user-interface elements, including:
■ Code examples and code that the user must enter
■ System output such as responses and error messages
■ Filenames, pathnames, and software component names, such as method names
● Bold monospace typeface emphasizes text that would otherwise appear in monospace
typeface to emphasize some computer input or output in context.
● Monospace typeface in italics or Bold monospace typeface in italics (depending
on context) indicates variables or placeholders for values you supply, or that might
vary from one case to another.
This guide uses the following syntax notation conventions:
● Brackets ([ ]) in syntax statements indicate parameters that are optional.
● Braces ({ }) indicate that one (and only one) of the enclosed items is required. A
vertical bar (|) separates the alternative selections.
● Ellipses (...) indicate that you can choose one or more of the preceding items.
This guide highlights special types of information by shading the information area, and
indicating the type of alert in the left margin.

especially important for understanding the concept or procedure being discussed.

for the procedure or task (or other) to be successfully completed.
