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: "The XSDValidator class is used to validate an XML document that has been built into a DOM tree."

A block of code will be set as follows:

InputStream inputStream=new FileInputStream(new File("catalog.xsd"));
InputSource inputSource=new InputSource(inputStream);
XMLSchema schema = builder.build(inputSource);
xsdValidator.setSchema(schema);

Any command-line input and output is written as follows:

dbxml>createContainer catalog.dbxml

New terms and important words are introduced in a bold-type font. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in our text like this: "In the New Gallery window select Categories | General and Items | Generic Application."
