I am reading the HTML PAGES dev guide, and every time
there is a reference to an actual code item in-line
with text (in Courier font), it is an obfuscated
(meaningless) word, viz.:
This base text (as a result of a copy operation):
The standard way to obtain a Connection object is to
call the method DriverManager.getConnection, which
takes a String
appears in Safari (Mac OS X, 10.4.10) as in the
attached image. In fact, I didn't know the text would
paste correctly when I started this note! Hmmm...
The HTML coce seems to be correct:
<p>The standard way to obtain a <samp
class="codeph"><em>Connection</em></samp> object
is to call the method <samp
class="codeph"><em>DriverManager.getConnection</em></samp>
But I have noticed that the reference to the css in the header is incorrect:
<link
href="/export/home/rh161140/derby/docs/10.3/out/devguidetemp/commonltr.css"
type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
this is taken from the 10.3 distribution archive.
As no css files are part of the distribution, the reference does not
make sense (a relative path would make sense if the css files were
included in the archive).
But maybe on your computere the referenced .css file does indeed exist
and defines a font which causes the garbled output.
