Table of Contents
Style guide
Center all tables and images. Image centering is built-in functionality when inserting; tables use the <columns> tag as part of the Columns plugin.
Genesplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigGene: read Chapters 02, 03, 04, 05, and 06 for a definition of gene :-) and geneplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigGene: read Chapters 02, 03, 04, 05, and 06 for a definition of gene :-) symbols should use $LaTeX$ formatting: e.g., $URA3$ or $unc\text{-117}$
Chapter numbers should use two-digit format (e.g., Chapter 01).
The Captions plugin does not support equation numbering, so genetic crosses and other equation-like objects should be labeled as <figure>
Technical notes
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.
JaxMath understands \text{} syntax from the amsmath package for LaTeX.
The Comment Syntax plugin allows for comments using the \* this is a comment *\ format.
using the nowiki tag or % delimiters does NOT work for the MathJax plugin. Instead, use /$
{{anchor:anchor_name}} is used to generate anchor links. Use [[page_name#anchor_name|text]] to link to it.
To-do list
see if can host MathJax locally instead of relying on remote service
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.
Also a wishlist item: a chapter on epigenetics. Not part of OCW notes.
