Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The Django library is installed by typing the following command in the Terminal: sudo pip install django."

A block of code is set as follows:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'rest_framework',
'rest_framework_swagger',
'nameapp',
)

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

python manage.py migrate

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "As you can see, the body of the page is specified by two boxes to be filled in with the person's name and their e-mail address, pressing Add to add them to the database."
