# Typographic conventions

The following typographical conventions are used in this document:

## Markings in images

In this document, elements in a screenshot are regularly referred to in texts.

In screenshots, such elements are marked with letters in black squares.

In texts, these elements are shown as, for example, **\[A]**, **\[B]**, **\[C]** ...

## Paths

Paths can indicate the following:

* They show you how to navigate within the ABB BuildingPro interface. In this case, a specific action is required from you.
* Arrows indicate the location of a menu. In this case, the path is for your information only; no action is required from you.

Which option is meant depends on the respective context.

Paths are indicated by an arrow "->".

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example**

Navigate to: Engineering -> Users -> Archive

**Explanation**

This instruction tells you to click the "Engineering" menu item, then the "Users" menu item, and then the "Archive" menu item.
{% endhint %}

### Variables in paths

Often you need to select dynamic elements within paths, e.g. user names. Such variables are *\[italic in square brackets]* set.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example**

Navigate to: Engineering -> Users -> \[*Select a user*]

**Explanation**

This instruction tells you to click the "Engineering" menu item, then the "Users" menu item, then click on a user name.

   ▷ The window **\[D]** remains open\
   ▷ All entries are reset\
   ▷ Repeat the process from step 4
   {% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.buildings.ability.abb/collection/english-v14/preface/typographische-konventionen.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
