<title>Conventions used in this book</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>To make things easy to follow, there are a number of conventions used
|
|
throughout the book. Following are some examples:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><command>./configure --prefix=/usr</command></screen>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><para>This form of text is designed to be typed exactly
|
|
as seen unless otherwise noted in the surrounding text. It is also used
|
|
in the explanation sections to identify which of the commands is being
|
|
referred to.</para></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>install-info: unknown option
|
|
`--dir-file=/mnt/lfs/usr/info/dir'</filename></para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><para>This form of text (fixed width text) is showing screen
|
|
output, probably as the result of commands issued and is also used to
|
|
show filenames such as <filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename></para></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para><emphasis>Emphasis</emphasis></para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><para>This form of text is used for several purposes in the
|
|
book but mainly to emphasize important points or to give examples as to
|
|
what to type.</para></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<para><ulink url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/">http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/</ulink></para>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><para>This form of text is used for hypertext links, both within
|
|
the book and to external pages such as HowTo's, download locations,
|
|
websites, etc.</para></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>cat > $LFS/etc/group << "EOF"</command>
|
|
root:x:0:
|
|
bin:x:1:
|
|
......
|
|
<command>EOF</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote><para>This type of section is used mainly when creating
|
|
configuration files. The first command (in bold) tells the system to create
|
|
the file <filename>$LFS/etc/group</filename> from whatever is typed on the
|
|
following lines until the sequence <acronym>EOF</acronym> is encountered.
|
|
Therefore, this whole section is generally typed as seen.</para></blockquote>

<para><replaceable>[REPLACED TEXT]</replaceable></para>

<blockquote><para>This form of text is used to encapsulate text that is
|

not to be typed as seen or copy and pasted.</para></blockquote>
