 Center all tables and images. Image centering is built-in functionality when inserting; tables use the %%<columns>%% tag as part of the Columns plugin.

+Genes and gene symbols should use $\LaTeX$ formatting: e.g., $URA3$ or $unc\text{-117}$. In retrospect this was not a great idea because autolink 4 does not recognize $\LaTeX$ formatted text. It does make genes stand out, so there is that.
 Chapter numbers should use two-digit format (e.g., Chapter 01).

+Note that the LaTeX syntax using the MathJax plugin does NOT work in footnotes. (2024-08-18) It does, however, work in headers, which is weird because headers are not supposed to support any kind of formatting.
 Use %%<columns 100% *100%*></columns>%% to center tables - <div centeralign> works for images but not tables. Function of the Columns plugin.

+%%{{anchor:anchor_name}}%% is used to generate anchor links. Use %%[[page_name#anchor_name|text]]%% to link to it.

+Using autotooltips and autolink 4 plugins for glossary. basically: glossary entries go into the "glossary:" name space. Simply use %%[[glossary:page_name_goes_here|link text goes here]]%% to generate the glossary entry page. The first line of the glossary entry should be a one line summary for the tooltip, can add other content below if needed. IN the autolink plugin config page, need to add an entry, see examples therein.

+see if can host MathJax locally instead of relying on remote service. Note: tried this on 08/25/2024 - it does not look easy. sticking with the remote call for now.
+More of a wishlist item: add a section on human/medically relevant pop-gen. OCW has a decent set of notes for this, should not be too hard to expand. (Part 4: Population genetics?)
+Also a wishlist item: a chapter on epigenetics. Not part of OCW notes. (Part 5: Weird stuff we don't fully understand yet?)
+Add appendix B: basically the lab manual.
