+<para>To make things easier to follow, there are a few typographical
+conventions used throughout the book. Following are some examples:</para>
+
+<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen>
+
+<blockquote><para>This form of text is designed to be typed exactly 
+as seen unless otherwise noted in the surrounding text. It is also used 
+in the explanation sections to identify which of the commands is being 
+referenced.</para></blockquote>
+
+<para><filename>install-info: unknown option 
+`--dir-file=/mnt/lfs/usr/info/dir'</filename></para>
+
+<blockquote><para>This form of text (fixed width text) is showing screen 
+output, probably as the result of commands issued, and is also used to 
+show filenames, such as <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>.</para></blockquote>
+
+<para><emphasis>Emphasis</emphasis></para>
+
+<blockquote><para>This form of text is used for several purposes in the 
+book, mainly to emphasize important points, and to give examples of
+what to type.</para></blockquote>
+
+<para><ulink url="&lfs-root;"/></para>
+
+<blockquote><para>This form of text is used for hyperlinks, both within the 
+book and to external pages such as HOWTOs, download locations and
+websites.</para></blockquote>
+
+<screen><userinput>cat &gt; $LFS/etc/group &lt;&lt; "EOF"</userinput>
+root:x:0:
+bin:x:1:
+......
+<userinput>EOF</userinput>
+</screen>
+
+<blockquote><para>This type of section is used mainly when creating 
+configuration files. The first command tells the system to create 
+the file $LFS/etc/group from whatever is typed on the following lines until 
+the sequence EOF is encountered. Therefore, this whole section is generally 
+typed as seen.</para></blockquote>
