Conventions

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 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: "Open the .htaccess file in a text editor."

A block of code is set as follows:

SetEnvIf Host www\.[domain] MAGE_RUN_CODE=[code]
SetEnvIf Host www\.[domain] MAGE_RUN_TYPE=[type]
SetEnvIf Host ^[domain] MAGE_RUN_CODE=[code]
SetEnvIf Host ^[domain] MAGE_RUN_CODE=[type]

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

[default]
exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1|30)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)
exten => i,1,Voicemail(s0)

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

cd <your Magento install dir>/bin
./magento setup:rollback (full path to backup filename from var/backups directory)

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: "Click on Default Category shown on the left side of the edit area."
