Typographic Conventions
To help you understand the material in the HST Data Handbook, we will use a few consistent typographic conventions.
Visual Cues
The following typographic cues are used:
Keystrokes
Keystroke commands and sequences are identified by the following formats.
Comments
Occasional side comments point out three types of information, each identified by an icon in the left margin.
Tip: No problems...just another way to do something or a suggestion that might
make your life easier.
Heads Up: Here is something that is often done incorrectly or that is not -obvious.
Warning: You could corrupt data, produce incorrect results, or create some other
kind of severe problem.

- When two keys are linked by a dash, both keys should be pressed at the same time.
- When a space separates two keys, a sequence is indicated. Press one key, release it, then press the other.
- Press only the key. If we meant that you should press shift with the key, we would say so, such as in the first example, above.
