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 are shown as follows: "Project module permissions are declared almost identically but are contained within a project_module block."

A block of code is set as follows:

permission :access_global_knowledgebase, {
  :knowledgebase => :index
}

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

permission :access_global_knowledgebase, {
 :knowledgebase => :index
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

permission(name, actions, options = {})

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: "If we were to check the roles editor now by navigating to Administration | Roles and Permissions and select any role to edit, this new permission would in fact appear under the Project category."
