    <para>In this manual the personal pronoun <emphasis>we</emphasis>

    is used to repesent <emphasis>The CentOS Artwork SIG</emphasis>,

    the group of persons that build The CentOS Project corporate

    visual identity through the CentOS Artwork Repository.</para>

    <para>In this manual, certain words are represented in different

    fonts, typefaces, sizes, and weights. This highlighting is

    systematic; different words are represented in the same style to

    indicate their inclusion in a specific category. The types of

    words that are represented this way include the following:</para>

    <glosslist>

        <glossentry>

            <glossterm><command>command</command></glossterm>

            <glossdef>

                <para> Linux commands (and other operating system

                commands, when used) are represented this way. This

                style should indicate to you that you can type the

                word or phrase on the command line and press Enter to

                invoke a command. Sometimes a command contains words

                that would be displayed in a different style on their

                own (such as file names). In these cases, they are

                considered to be part of the command, so the entire

                phrase is displayed as a command. For example:</para>

                <para>Use the <command>centos-art identity

                --render='path/to/dir'</command> command to produce

                contents inside the 

                class="directory">trunk/Identity</filename> directory

                structure.</para>

            </glossdef>

        </glossentry>

        <glossentry>

            <glossterm><filename>file name</filename></glossterm>

            <glossdef>

                <para>File names, directory names, paths, and RPM

                package names are represented this way. This style

                indicates that a particular file or directory exists

                with that name on your system. Examples:</para>

                <para>The <filename>init.sh</filename> file in

                class="directory">trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/</filename>

                directory is the initialization script, written in

                Bash, used to automate most of tasks in the

                repository.</para>

                <para>The <command>centos-art</command> command uses

                the <package>ImageMagick</package> RPM package to

                convert images from PNG format to other

                formats.</para>

            </glossdef>

        </glossentry>

        <glossentry>

            <glossterm><keycap>key</keycap></glossterm>

            <glossdef>

                <para> A key on the keyboard is shown in this style.

                For example:</para>

                <para>To use <keycap>TAB</keycap> completion to list

                particular files in a directory, type @command{ls},

                then a character, and finally the Tab key. Your

                terminal displays the list of files in the working

                directory that begin with that character.</para>

            </glossdef>

        </glossentry>

        <glossentry>

            <glossterm><keycombo action="simul"><keycap>key-combination</keycap></keycombo></glossterm>

            <glossdef>

                <para>A combination of keystrokes is represented in

                this way. For example:</para>

                <para>The 

                action="simul"><keycap>Ctrl</keycap><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>Backspace</keycap></keycombo>

                key combination exits your graphical session and

                returns you to the graphical login screen or the

                console.</para> 

            </glossdef> 

        </glossentry>

        <glossentry>

            <glossterm><computeroutput>computer output</computeroutput></glossterm>

            <glossdef>

            <para> Text in this style indicates text displayed to a

            shell prompt such as error messages and responses to

            commands. For example:</para>

            <para>The <command>ls</command> command displays the

            contents of a directory. For example:

<programlisting>

Config                          help_renameEntry.sh

help_copyEntry.sh               help_restoreCrossReferences.sh

help_deleteCrossReferences.sh   help_searchIndex.sh

</programlisting>

            The output returned in response to the command (in this

            case, the contents of the directory) is shown in this

            style.</para>

        </glossdef>

    </glossentry>

    </glosslist>

    <para>Additionally, we use several different strategies to draw

    your attention to certain pieces of information. In order of

    urgency, these items are marked as a note, tip, important,

    caution, or warning. For example:</para>

    <note>

        <para>Remember that Linux is case sensitive. In other words, a

        rose is not a ROSE is not a rOsE.</para>

    </note> 

    <tip>

        <para>The directory 

        class="directory">/usr/share/doc/</filename> contains

        additional documentation for packages installed on your

        system.</para>

    </tip>

    <important>

        <para>If you modify the DHCP configuration file, the changes

        do not take effect until you restart the DHCP daemon.</para>

    </important>

    <caution>

        <para>Do not perform routine tasks as root — use a

        regular user account unless you need to use the root account

        for system administration tasks.</para>

    </caution>

    <warning>

        <para>Be careful to remove only the necessary partitions.

        Removing other partitions could result in data loss or a

        corrupted system environment.</para>

    </warning>
