Typographical conventions

This manual uses different typographical and formatting elements to highlight specific contexts, text elements and meanings.

Source text (template, user-defined function) is shown in typescript:

integer myVar;

The following lines show an example of more complex source text. The numbers on the left hand side are line numbers which have been added for the user's convenience. The strings A) and B) highlight particular lines which are explained in detail in a separate section (Notes). Neither the numbers nor the strings A) and B) are part of the original source text. This only starts in the third column.

If not every line is numbered, this means that an original line was too wide and that it was therefore spread over two or more lines.

A)        integer i = 0;
 
B)        while i < 10 do
               data += #This text is in a single
					long row.#;
       endwhile	

Notes:

A) A detailed description or explanation of line A.

B) A detailed description or explanation of line B.

If a piece of source text is referred to in normal running text, then it is also formatted as typescript. File content and output generated by TDM Studio (e.g. in the output window) is formatted in the same way:

This is the content of
a multi-line file.

This manual uses several different number systems. If a number appears without reference to a system, it is a number in the decimal system. This means that 10 is the same as 1010 and 102 is the same as 10210. Otherwise, the number system is indicated by a subscript, following normal mathematical conventions: 10001₂ (dual system), 11₁₆ (hexadecimal system) or 21₈ (octal system).
