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: " Notice how param1 is passed as a value first and then as an array by using a dot."

A block of code will be set as follows:

plugin.tx_myext_pi1 = USER
plugin.tx_myext_pi1 {
userFunc = tx_myext_pi1->main
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items will be made bold:

plugin.tx_myext_pi1 = USER
plugin.tx_myext_pi1 {
includeLibs = EXT:myext/pi1/class.tx_myext_pi1.php
userFunc = tx_myext_pi1->main
}

New terms and important words are introduced in a bold-type font. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in our text like this: "To finish this step, press the Update... button".
