Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "We could have left the VirtualPath blank so that server-side scripts are allowed in all SharePoint sites, but limiting it in this way ensures that only our birthday page has script access."

A block of code will be set as follows:

a:link, a:visited, a:active {
   color:#903;
   padding-top:1px;
   padding-bottom:1px;
   border-color:#903;
   border-width:1px;
   border-style:solid;
   text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover {
   background-color:#EEE;
}

New terms and important words are introduced in a bold-type font. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in our text like this: "We then click the Create button in our Conditional Formatting task pane and select Apply Formatting".
