The book has two key textual conventions. Identifying specific parts of the user interface are indicated by bold text like this, for example, click on the OK button. Where we are directing you to enter specific values into fields or looking for values that are driven by our inputs, then this kind of text is used. For example, complete the description with this is a description I have added.
