CLI and GUI Text
Frequently throughout this course, we refer to text that appears in a command-line interface (CLI) or a graphical user interface (GUI). To make the language of these documents easier to read, we distinguish GUI and CLI text from chapter text according to the following table.

Input Text Versus Output Text
You will also frequently see cases where you must enter input text yourself. Often these instances will be shown in the context of where you must enter them. We use bold style to distinguish text that is input versus text that is simply displayed.

Defined and Undefined Syntax Variables
Finally, this course distinguishes between regular text and syntax variables, and it also distinguishes between syntax variables (where the value is already assigned defined variables) and syntax variables (where you must assign the value undefined variables). Note that these styles can be combined with the input style as well.
