Conventions Used

Code Samples

Code in this book is displayed using a fixed-width font, like so:

<h1>A Perfect Summer's Day</h1>
<p>It was a lovely day for a walk in the park.
The birds were singing and the kids were all back at school.</p>
			

Where existing code is required for context, rather than repeat all of it, ⋮ will be displayed:

function animate() {
    ⋮
new_variable = "Hello";
}

Some lines of code should be entered on one line, but we’ve had to wrap them because of page constraints. An ➥ indicates a line break that exists for formatting purposes only, and should be ignored:

URL.open("http://www.sitepoint.com/responsive-web-
➥design-real-user-testing/?responsive1");

You’ll notice that we’ve used certain layout styles throughout this book to signify different types of information. Look out for the following items.
