16
17<blockquote><para>This form of text is designed to be typed exactly
18as seen unless otherwise noted in the surrounding text. It is also used
19in the explanation sections to identify which of the commands is being
20referenced.</para></blockquote>

22<screen><computeroutput>install-info: unknown option `--dir-file=/mnt/lfs/usr/info/dir'</computeroutput></screen>
23
24<blockquote><para>This form of text (fixed width text) is showing screen
25output, probably as the result of commands issued, and is also used to
26show filenames, such as <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>.</para></blockquote>

45<blockquote><para>This type of section is used mainly when creating
46configuration files. The first command tells the system to create
47the file <filename>$LFS/etc/group</filename> from whatever is typed on the following lines until
48the sequence EOF is encountered. Therefore, this whole section is generally
49typed as seen.</para></blockquote>
