Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: " Next, we pass the content into elgg_view_layout() through the associative array $vars."

A block of code is set as follows:

<?php
/**
 * Hello world plugin
 */

  elgg_register_event_handler('init', 'system', 'hello_world_init');

  function hello_world_init() {
  // do nothing right now
}

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Enter your settings and click on Save".
