 # ATL Predefined Symbols
 
-These symbols are defined in the ATL header files, but they support standard Windows application functions and actions. These symbols are mainly used with dialog boxes. When you are working with dialogs and controls in the [Dialog editor](../windows/dialog-editor.md), these symbols will appear in the **Properties** window associated with common controls. For instance, if your dialog box has a **Cancel** button, that command will be associated with the symbol IDCANCEL in the [Properties Window](/visualstudio/ide/reference/properties-window).

 # How to: Manage Symbols
 
-When you create a new resource or resource object, the development environment assigns it a default symbol name, for example, IDD_DIALOG1. You can use the [Properties Window](/visualstudio/ide/reference/properties-window) to change the default symbol name or to change the name of any symbol already associated with a resource.
+When you create a new resource or resource object, the development environment assigns it a default symbol name, for example, `IDD_DIALOG1`. You can use the [Properties Window](/visualstudio/ide/reference/properties-window) to change the default symbol name or to change the name of any symbol already associated with a resource.
 
 For symbols associated with a single resource, you can also use the **Properties** window to change the symbol value. You can use the [Resource Symbols dialog box](../windows/resource-symbols-dialog-box.md) to change the value of symbols not currently assigned to a resource.
 
 Normally all symbol definitions are saved in `Resource.h`. However, you may need to change this include filename so that you can, for example, work with more than one resource file in the same directory.

 ## Symbol Name Restrictions

 - Symbol names aren't case-sensitive, but the case of the first symbol definition is preserved. The header file that defines the symbols is used by both the resource compiler/editor and C++ program(s) to refer resources defined in a resource file. For two symbol names that differ only in case, the C++ program will see two separate symbols while the resource compiler/editor will see both names as referring to one single symbol.
