There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

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: "In the next screenshot, we are coding in the test.ps1 file."

A block of code is set as follows:

function UsesPipeline
{
    param
    (
        [Parameter(ValueFromPipeline)]
        [string]
        $PipedObject
    )

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

git clone --recursive https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell.git

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: "Now, install the extension by pressing Install, which you can find on the top right-hand side."
