Bold Monospaced Font

Bold monospaced font

is used to represent text within a code example that you

should type. For example, you might see something like this:

./pssetup

*******************************************************************

Sun(TM) ONE Portal Server

*******************************************************************

Installation log at

/var/sadm/install/logs/ipsinstall.13343/install.log

This product will run without a license. However, you must either purchase

a Binary Code License from, or accept the terms of a Binary Software

Evaluation license with, Sun Microsystems, to legally use this product.

Do you accept? yes/[no]

In this example,

./pssetup

is what you would type from the command line. The

rest is what would appear as a result.

Italicized Font

An italicized font is used to represent text that you enter using information that is
unique to your installation (for example, variables). It is used for server paths and
names and account IDs.

Square or Straight Brackets

Square (or straight) brackets

[]

are used to enclose optional parameters. For

example, in Portal Server software documentation, you will see the usage for the

dpadmin

command described as follows:

dpadmin list|modify|add|remove [command-specific options]

The presence of

[command-specific]

indicates that optional parameters can be

added to the

dpadmin

command.
