The text in the HTML and PDF versions of the guide is not formatted in the same way (for example, text that appears in `monospace` in the HTML versions might not appear in `monospace` in the PDF version). Although I will work on fixing these discrepancies at some point, I've decided that adding and improving content should be given priority over fine-tuning the presentation, and adjusting the HTML format should be given priority over adjusting the PDF format, particularly given the inherent limitations of the PDF publishing system.

Commands and other user input to be typed at the prompt appear in bold, as in ls (for a simple command) and ./lab0 (for more complicated input).

Text that would appear on the user's screen looks like this:

foo: Command not found.
