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: "The <s:Body> element carries the actual message payload."

A block of code is set as follows:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ROOM_T(
      room_number INT NOT NULL, 
      room_type VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL, 
      room_size varchar(100) NOT NULL, 
      PRIMARY KEY(room_number));

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

create database HOTEL_RESERVATION_DB;

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 can check the Create a desktop icon checkbox to create an icon on the desktop so can you can easily launch soapUI".
