<title>Conventions used in this book</title>
<para>
To make things easy to follow, there are a number of conventions used
throughout the book. Following are some examples:
</para>
<para>
<userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput>
</para>
<blockquote><para>
This form of text is designed to be typed exactly as seen unless otherwise
noted in the surrounding text. It is also used in the explanation sections to
identify which of the commands is being referred to.
</para></blockquote>
<para>
<filename>
install-info: unknown option `--dir-file=/mnt/lfs/usr/info/dir'
</filename>
</para>
<blockquote><para>
This form of text (fixed width text) is showing screen output, probably as the
result of commands issued and is also used to show filenames such as
<filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename>
</para></blockquote>
<para>
<emphasis>Emphasis</emphasis>
</para>
<blockquote><para>
This form of text is used for several purposes in the book but mainly to
emphasise important points or to give examples as to what to type.
</para></blockquote>
<para>
<ulink url="http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/">

</para>
<blockquote><para>
This form of text is used for hyperlinks, both within the book and to external
pages such as HowTo's,download locations and websites etc.
</para></blockquote>
<literallayout>
<userinput>cat &gt; $LFS/etc/group &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
root:x:0:
bin:x:1:
......
<userinput>EOF</userinput>
</literallayout>
<blockquote><para>
This type of section is used mainly when creating configuration files. The
first command (in bold) tells the system to create the file $LFS/etc/group from
whatever is typed on the following lines until the sequence EOF is encountered.
Therefore, this whole section is generally typed as seen.
