Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text: 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: “First, create a new file named inclusion_tag.py under the filter_demo/templatetags directory.”
A block of code is set as follows:
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views import View
class IndexView(View):
def get(self, request):
return HttpResponse("Hey there!")
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
from django.shortcuts import render
def index(request):
names = "john,doe,mark,swain"
return render(request, "index.html", {'names': names})
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
POST /form-submit HTTP/1.1 Host: www.example.com Content-Length: 31 Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded first_name=Joe&last_name=Bloggs
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “On filling the data and clicking Save record, Django will save the data to the database.”
