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: "The preceding line has to be added between the <Host></Host> tags."

A block of code is set as follows:

<depedency>
 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>

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

<depedency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>

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

$ mvn package 

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: "Download STS, unzip it in your local folder, and open the .exe file to start the STS. Once started, create a new Spring Starter Project of the Spring Boot type with the following attributes."
