+<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr</userinput></screen>
+
+<para>This form of text is designed to be typed exactly as seen unless
+otherwise noted in the surrounding text. It is also used in the
+explanation sections to identify which of the commands is being
+referenced.</para>

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

+<para><emphasis>Emphasis</emphasis></para>

+<para>This form of text is used for several purposes in the book,
+mainly to emphasize important points or items.</para>

+<para>This format is used for hyperlinks, both within the LFS
+community and to external pages, including HOWTOs, download locations,

+<para>This format is used when creating configuration files. The first
+command tells the system to create the file
+<filename>$LFS/etc/group</filename> from whatever is typed on the
+following lines until the sequence end of file (EOF) is encountered.
+Therefore, this entire section is generally typed as seen.</para>
