1.3 Conventions
This topic explains the typographic conventions and other notations used to represent
information in this manual.
Elements of the web-based graphical user interface (GUI, or »web interface«) are indi-
cated as follows:
●
Buttons, checkboxes, list names and other controls appear in quotation marks. For
example: »Click "Save" to create the rule.«
●
A sequence of menu commands is indicated as follows: "Firewall > Status" . In this
case, select "Status" from the "Firewall" menu.
●
List options and literal text both appear in a fixed-width font. For example: »The
default filename is set to config.tar.gz.«
●
Terms that require extended definitions or explanations are indicated in italics. For
example, the term application is often used to refer to a software program. In this
manual, however, it usually means the Layer 7 protocol used by the program on
the Application Layer of the OSI reference model. With Skype traffic, for example,
the terms application and protocol are used interchangeably.
