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: " We have an npcLoop function in server-side extension."

A block of code will be set as follows:

var javaExt = Packages.it.gotoandplay.smartfoxserver.extensions.ExtensionHelper;
var helper = javaExt.instance();
var zone = helper.getZone("virtualWorld");

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items will be shown in bold:

res.list = [];
var holder = param.holder; var sql = "SELECT * FROM quests WHERE holder='" + holder + "'";
var resultCount = getResultArray(sql, res.list);

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

javac -version

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in our text like this: "If it prompts for login, click on Skip this Step to bypass it."

Note

Warnings or important notes appear in a box like this.
