There are a number of conventions used in this document. One set of conventions use
the typeface to indicate what kind of object is being described. These conventions
are
- Bold
- This is the name of a script, e.g. tnt.
- Teletype
- This is a file name, e.g. tnt/data/formfactor.dat. This
typeface is also used to display exact dialogs between the user and the computer. In
such an example the text typed by the user is in bold.
-
-
This is the name of a program, e.g. Rfactor.
Another series of conventions are involved in the specification of syntax. When
describing a data statement or command there has to be a method to specify that
something is optional or something else can be repeated. These conventions are
- < ...>
- Substitute a value. The text within the broken brackets
describes the value. In the input line the broken brackets are not entered.
- N( ...)
- Repeat the contents of the parenthesizes zero or more times.
-
- The contents of the brackets are optional.
- { ...| ...}
- Choose one of the options separated by ``|".
There may be more than two options to choose from.
