1 Typographical Conventions
1 =========================
1
1 This Info file is written in Texinfo
1 (http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/), the GNU documentation formatting
1 language. A single Texinfo source file is used to produce both the
1 printed and online versions of the documentation. This minor node
1 briefly documents the typographical conventions used in Texinfo.

1 Examples you would type at the command line are preceded by the
1 common shell primary and secondary prompts, '$' and '>'. Input that you
1 type is shown 'like this'. Output from the command is preceded by the
1 glyph "-|". This typically represents the command's standard output.
1 Error messages and other output on the command's standard error are
1 preceded by the glyph "error->". For example:
1
1 $ echo hi on stdout
1 -| hi on stdout
1 $ echo hello on stderr 1>&2
1 error-> hello on stderr

1 Characters that you type at the keyboard look 'like this'. In
1 particular, there are special characters called "control characters."
1 These are characters that you type by holding down both the 'CONTROL'
1 key and another key, at the same time. For example, a 'Ctrl-d' is typed
1 by first pressing and holding the 'CONTROL' key, next pressing the 'd'
1 key, and finally releasing both keys.
