 # iostreams Conventions
 
 The iostreams headers support conversions between text and encoded forms, and input and output to external files:
 
-[\<fstream>](../standard-library/fstream.md)\
-[\<iomanip>](../standard-library/iomanip.md)\
-[\<ios>](../standard-library/ios.md)\
-[\<iosfwd>](../standard-library/iosfwd.md)\
-[\<iostream>](../standard-library/iostream.md)\
-[\<istream>](../standard-library/istream.md)\
-[\<ostream>](../standard-library/ostream.md)\
-[\<sstream>](../standard-library/sstream.md)\
-[\<streambuf>](../standard-library/streambuf.md)\
-[\<strstream>](../standard-library/strstream.md)
+[`<fstream>`](fstream.md)\
+[`<iomanip>`](iomanip.md)\
+[`<ios>`](ios.md)\
+[`<iosfwd>`](iosfwd.md)\
+[`<iostream>`](iostream.md)\
+[`<istream>`](istream.md)\
+[`<ostream>`](ostream.md)\
+[`<sstream>`](sstream.md)\
+[`<streambuf>`](streambuf.md)\
+[`<strstream>`](strstream.md)
 
-The simplest use of iostreams requires only that you include the header [\<iostream>](../standard-library/iostream.md). You can then extract values from [cin](../standard-library/iostream.md#cin) or [wcin](../standard-library/iostream.md#wcin) to read the standard input. The rules for doing so are outlined in the description of the class [basic_istream Class](../standard-library/basic-istream-class.md). You can also insert values to [cout](../standard-library/iostream.md#cout) or [wcout](../standard-library/iostream.md#wcout) to write the standard output. The rules for doing so are outlined in the description of the class [basic_ostream Class](../standard-library/basic-ostream-class.md). Format control common to both extractors and insertors is managed by the class [basic_ios Class](../standard-library/basic-ios-class.md). Manipulating this format information in the guise of extracting and inserting objects is the province of several manipulators.

-You can perform the same iostreams operations on files that you open by name, using the classes declared in [\<fstream>](../standard-library/fstream.md). To convert between iostreams and objects of class [basic_string Class](../standard-library/basic-string-class.md), use the classes declared in [\<sstream>](../standard-library/sstream.md). To do the same with C strings, use the classes declared in [\<strstream>](../standard-library/strstream.md).

 The remaining headers provide support services, typically of direct interest to only the most advanced users of the iostreams classes.
