Conventions used in this guide
The following typographical conventions are used in this guide:
•
Code
font indicates code fragments and API literals, including class names, method names, function names, type
names, scripts, SQL statements, and both HTML and XML tag and attribute names.
•
Italic code
font indicates replaceable items in code.
•
The continuation symbol (
¬
) indicates that a long line of code has been broken across two or more lines. Due to
margin limits in this guide’s format, what is otherwise a continuous line of code must be split. When copying the
lines of code, eliminate the continuation symbol, and type the lines as one line.
•
Curly braces ({ }) that surround a function argument indicate that the argument is optional.
•
Function names that have the prefix
dreamweaver.
(as in
dreamweaver.funcname
) can be abbreviated to
dw.funcname
when you are writing code. This manual uses the full
dreamweaver.
