Conventions

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

Code within text is shown as follows: "The styleActionBar JavaScript function in the ActionBar.js JavaScript library contains just a few lines."

A block of code is set as follows:

function styleActionBar() {
var form = document.forms[0] ;
var tables = form.getElementsByTagName("TABLE") ;
var actionbar = tables[0] ;
actionbar.className += " actionbar" ;
return true ;
}

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

Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Dim doc As NotesDocument

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: "On the Basic Notes Client Configuration tab, in the Additional options list, check the Use Web palette option."
