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, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The Kendo UI library exports an object, kendo, which is a namespace for various other objects and functions."

A block of code is set as follows:

var template = kendo.template("Full Name: " +
                              "<span> #= lastName # </span>,"  +
                              
                              "<span> #= firstName # </span>");

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

<div
  data-role="view"
  data-layout="defaultLayout">
  <div
    id="touchSurface"
    data-role="touch"
    data-enable-swipe="1"
    data-touchstart="touchstart"
    data-swipe="swipe"
    data-tap="tap"
    data-doubletap="doubletap"
    data-hold="hold"
    style="height: 200px;">

    Touch Surface

  </div>
</div>

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