Notational Conventions
The User's Guide employs the following conventions to distinguish different types of text.
- construct
- Lisp and CLIM constructs, such as functions or classes.
- significant term
- Significant terms introduced for the first time. These terms appear in the glossary.
code examples- Computer-generated text, prompts, and messages, as well as code examples and user entries.
KEYSTROKES- References to keystrokes, as in
META orSHIFT. Logical keystrokes are enclosed in angle brackets. Thus for<ABORT>, you might typeCONTROL-z; for<END>,CONTROL-]; and for<HELP>,META-?.
- function arguments
- Arguments to functions.
specified arguments- Specific values for arguments within code examples.
unspecified arguments- Arguments within code examples for which the user must supply a value.
- Menu Item
- Menu items, as in Exit or File>Save or Up.
- filename
- Pathnames, filenames, and parts of filenames.
References to the Unix release directory are enclosed in angle brackets to represent the actual name of the directory. So: <release-directory>/demo/puzzle.lisp for one user might be /usr/local/clim/demo/puzzle.lisp. For another, it might be /hqn/bin/demo/puzzle.lisp. Mouse pointer gestures are capitalized, as in Left orSHIFT-Middle.
