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, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "If a folder is provided in include path, it will be helpful in auto completion for include(), require(), and so on."

A block of code is set as follows:

class Dish {
/**
* @param string $dishName The name of the dish
*/
protected function addSalt(){ }
}

A command-line input or output is shown as:

svnadmin create /path/to/your/repo/

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: "To turn this feature on, you need to select the checkbox adjacent to Sort lookup items lexicographically."
