Conventions

In the book we have used the following typographic conventions including: Italic for emphasis, and Monospace for indicating paths and filenames.

A block of code, indicating HTML, PHP, or jQuery snippets of code and other code blocks are set as follows:

<a href="<?php echo Mage::helper('adminhtml')->getUrl('adminhtml/index/forgotpassword',array('_nosecret' => true)) ?>">
  <?php echo Mage::helper('adminhtml')->__('Forgot your password?') ?>
</a>

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

<topheader_color1 translate="label">
<label>Top Header Background: </label>
  <comment>Comment…</comment>
  <frontend_type>text</frontend_type>
  <validate>color</validate>
  <sort_order>02</sort_order>
  <show_in_default>1</show_in_default>
  <show_in_website>1</show_in_website>
  <show_in_store>1</show_in_store>
 <depends>
 <topheader_enable>1</topheader_enable>
 </depends>
</topheader_color1>

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 make a donation, click on the Contribute button and make your offer."
