Whether mono-spaced bold or proportional bold, the addition of italics indicates replaceable or variable text. Italics denotes text you do not input literally or displayed text that changes depending on circumstance. For example: 



To connect to a remote machine using ssh, type ssh username at a shell prompt. If the remote machine is example.com and your username on that machine is john, type ssh john. 

The mount -o remount file-system command remounts the named file system. For example, to remount the /home file system, the command is mount -o remount /home. 

To see the version of a currently installed package, use the rpm -q package command. It will return a result as follows: package-version-release. 

Note the words in bold italics above: username, domain.name, file-system, package, version and release. Each word is a placeholder, either for text you enter when issuing a command or for text displayed by the system. 

Aside from standard usage for presenting the title of a work, italics denotes the first use of a new and important term. For example: 



Publican is a DocBook publishing system.
