CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Then, you can just create the transition style in a .css file."

A block of code is set as follows:

// pages/about.vue
<script>
export default {
  transition: {
    name: 'fade'

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

exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)

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

$ npm i less --save-dev
$ npm i less-loader --save-dev

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select Manually select features to pick Router from the options that you are prompted to select, to choose the features you need."
