Bug description:
Not sure if this has been discussed but we need a uniform way of 
writing/displaying code and directives that will be consistent throughout the 
manual.

- By code I mean anything we are telling a reader to input into a terminal 
(i.e. sudo apt-get update)

- By directives I mean anything that directs a user (i.e. click on 
system->preferences->appearance etc)

I think we need to decide on how we want these to be displayed in the manual, 
so that we can write them correctly into the latex documents as we go. This 
should save a heap of time later on.

Things to consider 
- do we want code to sit in a 'code block' (similar to a text box), be written 
in-line in the paragraph, have a line break before and after, or some other 
method of identifying "this should be written into a terminal".
- should we use quotation marks around directives? If so should they be single 
or double?
- should there be arrows between directives (such as above example), or 
comma's, or something else?

Jamin
