1.6 Conventions
The following conventions are used in the documentation:
● Bold text highlights key terms and phrases, and is used when referring to names of
dialog boxes and windows, as well as tabs and entry fields within windows or dialog
boxes.
● Bold italic text denotes menu commands (or sequence of commands), options,
buttons or checkboxes which you must click with your mouse in order to perform an
action.
● The > symbol is used in a sequence of commands to mean “then”. For example, to
open an application in Windows, we would write: “Click Start>Programs>ST7 Tool
Chain>....”.
● Courier font designates file names, programming commands, path names and any
text or commands you must type.
● Italicized type is used for value substitution. Italic type indicates categories of items for
which you must substitute the appropriate values, such as arguments, or hypothetical
filenames. For example, if the text was demonstrating a hypothetical command line to
compile and generate debugging information for any file, it might appear as:
cxst7 +mods +debug file.c
● Items enclosed in [brackets] are optional. For example, the line:
[options]
means that zero or more options may be specified because options appears in
brackets. Conversely, the line:
options
means that one or more options must be specified because options is not enclosed by
brackets.
As another example, the line:
file1.[o|st7]
means that one file with the extension .o or .st7 may be specified, and the line:
file1 [file2...]
means that additional files may be specified.
● Blue italicized text indicates a cross-reference—you can link directly to the reference by
clicking on it while viewing with Acrobat Reader.
