Styles

Various typographic styles are used throughout the Symbian Developer Library. Some styles are used to make text easier to understand, for example to highlight code fragments, intended user input, literal filenames, or other quoted text; other styles are used to flag restrictions and general applicability of text. Link styles are also used for hypertext navigation. Note that reference documentation uses a limited range of available styles.
