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

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: Unzip the downloaded file in a folder of your choice, as, for example, c:/util/kettle or /home/pdi_user/kettle.

A block of code is set as follows:

project_name,start_date,end_date
Project A,2016-01-10,2016-01-25
Project B,2016-04-03,2016-07-21
Project C,2017-01-15,???
Project D,2015-09-03,2015-12-20
Project E,2016-05-11,2016-05-31
Project F,2011-12-01,2013-11-30

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

 kitchen /file:c:/pdi_labs/hello_world.kjb

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: Open Spoon from the main menu and navigate to File | New | Transformation.
