Typographic Conventions

Bold type is used for technical terms, including application specific concepts and the names of click-able interface elements such as commands, dialog boxes, windows, menus, buttons and fields.

Italic type is used for emphasis. Italic type may also be used to emphasize buttons or menu names, while not necessarily directing you to click them.

[square brackets with bold text]: depicts navigation choices in an expanding dropdown menu. For example: To open a new browser window, you would choose [File:New:Window].

<angle brackets with bold text>: represent a button. Either a software-depicted button like <Start>, or an actual hardware button.
