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: "We can include other contexts through the use of the include directive."

A block of code is set as follows:

task :hello do
  puts 'Hello, Rake!'
end

Any command-line input is written as follows:

$ rake task2

All command-line outputs have been highlighted and will appear as follows:

rake aborted!
this is an error

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "You will be redirected to the configuration page of the created project. There you will find the Build section with the Add build step dropdown."
