Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Update the truffle.js file configuration."

A block of code is set as follows:

module.exports = { 
  networks: { 
    development: { 
      host: "127.0.0.1", 
      port: 8545, 

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

truffle compile

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Copy the second account from the account list, and click the Copy button."
