## Document Conventions

This documentation aims to use of the following naming and formatting conventions.

- C++ Code is in `fixed width font` and is syntax-highlighted in color, for example `double`.
- Other code is in block `teletype fixed-width font`.
- Replaceable text that you will need to supply is in `italics`.
- If a name refers to a free function, it is specified like this: `free_function()`; that is, it is in `code font` and its name is followed by `()` to indicate that it is a free function.
- If a name refers to a class template, it is specified like this: `class_template<>`; that is, it is in code font and its name is followed by `<>` to indicate that it is a class template.
- If a name refers to a function-like macro, it is specified like this: `MACRO()`; that is, it is uppercase in code font and its name is followed by `()` to indicate that it is a function-like macro. Object-like macros appear without the trailing `()`.
- Names that refer to concepts in the generic programming sense (like template parameter names) are specified in CamelCase.
