Manual convention

The monospace font represents the text readable by machine: Name of any hosts, directories, files, commands or parameters, or value of any parameters.

Example:

The pw command may add a user to /etc/passwd.
Fenced block represents input and/or output on the console, or excerpt from any file.

Example:
```
$ echo 'Sympa!'
Sympa!
```
Example:
```
domain mail.exmaple.org
wwsympa_url https://web.example.org/sympa
```
$ or # prepended to the line represents shell prompt. $ indicates that commands may be executed by unprivileged user. # indicates that commands should be executed under super-user (root) privilege. In latter case sudo(1) may also be used.

Example:
```
# make install
```
is the same as
```
$ sudo make install
```
To help readers understand, several symbols are used to stand for particular path names. See "Directory layout".
