You will also 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: "With the mod_jk connector, Apache and Tomcat will share the http://localhost address without conflicts."

A block of code is set as follows:

installation.type=auto
database.configurationType=jndi
database.jndi.name=jdbc/rollerdb
mail.configurationType=jndi
mail.jndi.name=mail/Session

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<param name="src" value=
"http://localhost/roller/main/resource/video/ showvbox_controller.swf" /> 
<param name="bgcolor" value="#1a1a1a" />

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "In the Edit Entry page, go to the Content field and click on the Toggle HTML Source button."
