Italic

Used to indicate new terms, URLs, filenames, file extensions, directories, commands and options, program names, and to highlight comments in examples. For example, a path in the filesystem will appear as /Developer/Applications.

Constant width

Used to show code examples, verbatim Google searches, the contents of files, or the output from commands.

Constant width bold

Used in examples and tables to show commands or other text that should be typed literally.

Constant width italic

Used in examples and tables to show text that should be replaced with user-supplied values.
