Description
This typeface indicates command syntax, or represents information as
it appears on the screen.
When you see the word enter in this guide, you must type something,
and then press the Return or Enter key. Do not press the Return or
Enter key when an instruction simply says type.
Key names are written in boldface, for example Ctrl or Esc. If you must
press two or more keys simultaneously, the key names are linked with a
plus sign (+). Example: Press Ctrl+Alt+Del
Italics emphasize a point or denote new terms at the place where they
are defined in the text. Italics are also used when referring to
publication titles.
This symbol identifies new content. In a PDF, this is searchable text.
