Typographic Conventions
The PC-BSD Handbook uses the following typographic conventions:
- bold text: represents a command written at the command line. In usage examples, the font is changed with any command output displayed in unbolded text.
- italic text: used to represent device names or file name paths.
- bold italic text: used to emphasize an important point.
Language usage and word choice
To facilitate future translations avoid the following:
- Contractions
- in place of don't, can't or won't use do not, cannot, or will not.
- Avoid brand names
- use web search instead of Google search
Some special characters
- Traversal of menus/windows
- use an arrow (➜) as in the example: PC-BSD control panel ➜ System manager ➜ System packages {tab}
Reference
- → ➿ ➙ ➜ more arrows pointing to the right
