Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "We will now look at the Odoo configuration file so we can find the directory for our Odoo installation and modify the addons_path to contain our new directory."

A block of code is set as follows:

    { 
        'name': 'Screen Printing', 
        'version': '1.0', 
        'description': """ 
        This module adds functionality for screen printing companies 
        """, 
        'author': 'Greg Moss', 
        'depends': ['base','sale'], 
        'data': ['silkworm_view.xml'], 
        'demo': [], 
        'installable': True, 
        'auto_install': False, 
    }

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

sudo nano /etc/odoo/odoo.conf

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "For our example, let's go ahead and install the CRM application by clicking on the CRM button."
