Table: Typographic Conventions
Extended examples of commands and their outputs are displayed in the monospace Courier font. Within these sections, command lines are prefixed with a ‘$ ‘ prompt. Lines without this prompt are output from the previous command. For example,
$ stratus-run-instance -q BN1EEkPiBx87_uLj2-sdybSI-Xb
5507, 134.158.75.75
the stratus-run-instance is the command line which returns the
virtual machine identifier and IP address.
