This documentation aims to use of the following naming and formatting conventions.
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem">
C++ Code is in <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">fixed</span> <span class="identifier">width</span>
<span class="identifier">font</span></code> and is syntax-highlighted
in color, for example <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Other code is in block <code class="literal">teletype fixed-width font</code>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Replaceable text that <span class="bold"><strong>you</strong></span> will need to
supply is in <em class="replaceable"><code>italics</code></em>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
If a name refers to a free function, it is specified like this: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">free_function</span><span class="special">()</span></code>;
that is, it is in <em class="replaceable"><code>code font</code></em> and its name is
followed by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">()</span></code> to indicate
that it is a free function.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
If a name refers to a class template, it is specified like this: <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">class_template</span><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code>;
that is, it is in code font and its name is followed by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">&lt;&gt;</span></code>
to indicate that it is a class template.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
If a name refers to a function-like macro, it is specified like this:
<code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">MACRO</span><span class="special">()</span></code>;
that is, it is uppercase in code font and its name is followed by <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">()</span></code> to indicate that it is a function-like
macro. Object-like macros appear without the trailing <code class="computeroutput"><span class="special">()</span></code>.
</li>
<li class="listitem">
Names that refer to <span class="emphasis"><em>concepts</em></span> in the generic programming
sense (like template parameter names) are specified in CamelCase.
