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: “Uses a plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a Zope instance.”

A block of code is set as follows:

find-links = 
           http://dist.plone.org/release/3.3.3 
           http://dist.plone.org/thirdparty

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

[buildout] 
parts = 
 python 
 virtualenv 
 make-virtualenv 
# Add additional egg download sources here. 
# dist.plone.org contains archives 
# of Plone packages.

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

# aptitude install gcc g++ libbz2-dev zlib1g-dev libreadline5-dev libssl-dev

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: “In Plone literature, they are called products, though”.
