Paths

This manual differentiates between three types of paths:

Navigation paths: These paths describe the order of buttons and menu items you click through to use certain functions. You can recognize navigation paths by the pointy brackets (>) and the italic font.

Example: Click the ELO button > Configuration > Notes > Print margin notes.

Filing paths: These paths describe filing paths within the ELO repository. You can recognize filing paths by the pilcrow sign and Courier font (¶).

Example: Save the document to ¶Projects¶Year¶Month.

Document and filing paths: These paths describe storage locations for files within the operating system. We indicate this by using backslashes (\).

For example: Save the document under C:\Documents\Vacation.
