Formatting

To help users get through content more effectively and to draw attention to important information throughout the content, we use the following formatting in Veeam technical documentation.

Bold

Use bold formatting for static interface elements: wizard names, window names, buttons, links, options, check boxes, step names, list names, icon names, menu names, pane names, tab names, toolbar names, ribbon names and view names. Also, use bold formatting to describe report output: report names, section names and table names.

Italic

Use italic formatting for selectable interface elements (that is, drop-down list options, object types) and input data you enter (that is, object names, parameter names, parameter values, field values). Also, use italic formatting for error messages, section names if referencing an external document, and state and status names.

Courier

Use courier formatting for anything that can be copied/pasted into a command line: URL paths, folder names, file names, utility names, syntax, variables, parameters and properties.
