Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “The styledtables package can only be installed from GitHub via the devtools package.”

A block of code is set as follows:

install.packages("devtools")
# Install development version from GitHub
devtools::install_github(
'R-package/styledTables',
build_vignettes = TRUE
)

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

python –m pip install pywin32==306

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Before running this code, you can ensure that iris_data.xlsm has the macro by going to Developer | Macros (or Visual Basic) to see whether the macro exists.”
