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: "HTML5 also accepts a far slacker syntax to be considered "valid". For example, <sCRipt SrC=js/jquery-1.6.2.js></script> is just as valid as the prior example."

A block of code is set as follows:

<div class="header">
  <div class="navigation">
    <ul class="nav-list">
      <li><a href="#" title="Home">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="#" title="About">About</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div> <!—end of navigation -->
</div> <!—end of header -->

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

#wrapper {
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
 width: 96%; /* Holding outermost DIV */
}

#header {
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-left: 10px;
 width: 97.9166667%; /* 940 ÷ 960 */
}

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: "For example, the navigation menu doesn't alternate between red and black, the main THESE SHOULD HAVE WON button in the content area and the full info buttons from the sidebar are missing and the fonts are all a far cry from the ones shown in the graphic file".
