Typographical Conventions
=========================
This Info file is written in Texinfo
(http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/), the GNU documentation formatting
language. A single Texinfo source file is used to produce both the
printed and online versions of the documentation. This minor node
briefly documents the typographical conventions used in Texinfo.
Examples you would type at the command line are preceded by the
common shell primary and secondary prompts, '$' and '>'. Input that you
type is shown 'like this'. Output from the command is preceded by the
glyph "-|". This typically represents the command's standard output.
Error messages and other output on the command's standard error are
preceded by the glyph "error->". For example:
$ echo hi on stdout
-| hi on stdout
$ echo hello on stderr 1>&2
error-> hello on stderr
Characters that you type at the keyboard look 'like this'. In
particular, there are special characters called "control characters."
These are characters that you type by holding down both the 'CONTROL'
key and another key, at the same time. For example, a 'Ctrl-d' is typed
by first pressing and holding the 'CONTROL' key, next pressing the 'd'
key, and finally releasing both keys.
