General Document Conventions

This document uses the following text conventions:

• Names of commands, files, and directories are shown in a sans serif font. The following example refers to the ssh command:

The client application invokes the ssh command.

• Examples of command output and the contents of files or XML DTDs are shown in a fixed-width font when it is important to preserve column alignment, or in sans serif font otherwise. The following example using sans serif font is from the junos-chassis DTD:

<!ELEMENT chassis-inventory (chassis?)>

• Options, which are variable terms for which you substitute appropriate values, are shown in italics. The following example refers to the variable called identifier:

For identifier, substitute the name of this instance of the object.

• XML tags are shown in sans serif font and are surrounded by angle brackets, which is the standard XML notation for tags. The angle brackets do not indicate that an element is optional, as they do in syntax statements in the JUNOS Internet Software Operational Mode Command Reference. The following example refers to tags called <generation> and <local-index>:

Notice that the JUNOScript server emits the <generation> tag before the <local-index> tag.

• If parts of a file or other example are omitted to highlight the remaining elements, the missing parts are represented by an ellipsis (...).
