Documentation Conventions
This SDK uses following typographic conventions:
Convention Meaning Bold text Indicates a word that is a function name, data type, or other fixed element of the Windows, OLE, or Speech API -- for example, Pause(). Italic text Indicates a word that is a placeholder or variable -- for example, pdwPitch. Function parameters in API reference material are italicized to indicate that any variable name can be used. In addition, first mentions of important terms are italicized to highlight their definitions. UPPERCASE TEXT Indicates a constant or structure -- for example, SRGRMFMT_CFG. Uppercase also indicates Microsoft® MS-DOS® filenames and paths. Monospace textIndicates source code examples. Also, the interface syntax in this SDK follows the variable-naming convention known as Hungarian notation, in which variables are prefixed with lower-case letters to indicate their data type. For example, pszString is a pointer to a zero-terminated string.
