Highlighting Conventions

Highlighting refers to different type styles used within text to show certain kinds of information. Type styles other than the standard body text font that are used in this manual are shown along with a description of the kind of information that each different type style is used for.


Type Style	Emphasized Information
ROMAN CAPS	ROMAN CAPS are used for commands, keywords, or other information that the programmer is to type in literally. This type style is not used in lengthy sample program listings.
Bold	A Bold type style (Initial Caps) is used for EHLLAPI function names. Keep in mind that these names are labels used to refer to the function. They are not used in an application to call an EHLLAPI function; the function number parameter is used to specify which EHLLAPI function is to be performed. See EHLLAPI Functions. EHLLAPI Functions
Italics	When italics or *bold italics* appear in text, either a term is being used for the first time or the meaning implied by the word is being stressed.
Bold Monospace	Bold monospace type indicates file and directory names. It is also used for programmable keywords.
Italic Monospace	Italic monospace type indicates variables for placeholders, parameters, and file names. When you enter a command, replace all variables with the appropriate file name, number, or option. On an example display screen, nonitalic regular monospace type indicates a variable quantity other than a default value.
`Monospace`	`Monospace` type is used in the following situations: In sample code listings of more than a few lines. As options for link or compile commands. For names of session options set by the Set Session Parameters (9) function. See Set Session Parameters (9). For ASCII mnemonics in text. For displayed information. For input from either a programmer or an operator.
