Documentation conventions
This manual uses the following standard documentation conventions:

Italics
In command usage, italic represent variable information. Do not enter
the words themselves in the command. Enter the information they
represent. In ordinary text, italics are used for titles of publications, for
some terms that would otherwise be in quotation marks, and to show
emphasis.

command. To include such an argument, type only the information
inside the brackets. Do not type the brackets unless they appear in bold
type.
