3.2 Typographical Conventions

Sections of this document are not self-contained; they contain both forward and backward references, all of which are hyperlinked. In addition, the following typographical convention is used to indicate the special meaning of certain names:

• Underline, as in instanceType: the name of an attribute or object class whose interpretation is specified in the following documents:

  • [MS-ADA1] Attribute names whose initial letter is A through L.

  • [MS-ADA2] Attribute names whose initial letter is M.

  • [MS-ADA3] Attribute names whose initial letter is N through Z.

  • [MS-ADSC] Object class names.

  • [MS-ADLS] Object class names and attribute names for AD LDS.

No special typographical convention is used for names that represent elements of sets; for example, DRS_WRIT_REP. The name of the set type (for example, DRS_OPTIONS) is always clear from context, and the elements of each set type are defined with the set type. Similarly, no special typographical convention is used for names that represent Windows error codes; for example, ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER.
