Description
This typeface is used for names of, for instance, windows, buttons, and
labels when these names appear on the screen (example: the Alarms
Browser window). When it is clear that we are referring to, for instance, a
button, the name is used alone (example: Click OK).
This typeface is used for words to be typed in exactly as they
are shown in the text (example: In the Address field, type http://
ucs01.ucs:9080/).
This typeface is used for messages, prompts, and other text displayed on
the computer screen (example: A new trap destination has been
added).
This typeface is used with angle brackets as placeholders for a specif-
ic member of the group that the words represent (example: <router
number>).
NOTE: In sequences to be typed in, the angle brackets are omitted
to avoid confusion whether to include the angle brackets in the text
to be typed.
This typeface is used for keyboard keys (example: Press Y, and then press
ENTER).
This typeface is used for citations. A citation usually is the name of a docu-
ment or a phrase from another document (example: Dimetra IP System
Overview).
An → (arrow pointing right) is used for indicating the menu or tab struc-
ture in instructions on how to select a certain menu item (example: File
→ Save) or a certain subtab.
