% Typographical conventions.
%
% I am mostly following the cues from the wordperfect version, but a
% few things need to change; in particular, it doesn't make sense in
% this day and age to use uppercase to set off filenames. So:
%
%    C keywords			- courier		\agcode
%    file and path names	- courier		\agfile
%    menu items and ui actions	- italic		\agmenu
%    ui options			- italic		\agoption
%    configuration parameters	- bold			\agparam
%    technical term definitions	- italic		\agterm
%    window names		- normal		\agwindow
%
% Don't forget that we can also use small caps (\textsc) for
% something.
%
% I was using helvetica bold (\sfbf above) for \agmenu and \agoption,
% but that looks like crap - the fonts don't seem to space right when
% mixed. Helvetica non-bold is not visually distinguishable enough
% from Palatino and looks like etaoin shrdlu. So, I think we can't use
% Helvetica for anything.
%
% There ought to be a section describing these. XXX.
%

% XXX should have \agparam automatically add indexing. will that work?
\newcommand{\agcode}[1]{\texttt{#1}}	% code, C keywords, etc.
\newcommand{\agfile}[1]{\texttt{#1}}	% file and path names
\newcommand{\agmenu}[1]{{\it #1}}	% menu items and ui actions
