Here are some notes to help you use the online edition of this
book:
Trying to find something in the book? When you're searching,
remember that you can do more than use Google search or browse
the indexes. Your browser probably has a built-in search command
to search the page you're viewing. So try a search command
inside the table of contents. Or, when you pull up a page of the
book, and you don't see the place you were looking for, use your
browser's search command on that page.
These files use the HTML non-breaking space
character, , to hold related words together; if
you see it in the text, either get a better Web browser or
imagine that you're seeing a single space. The same goes for
some non-ASCII characters, like ¡ (an upside-down
exclamation point, represented in HTML as ¡)
and this ñ (an n with a tilde
(~) over it, represented in HTML by the
entity ñ).
If your browser has any of those problems, you'll have some
trouble viewing these files because your page won't look exactly
the way it should.
