Style principles

• Model the 20.309 report writing guidelines
• Use Wikipedia style guidelines except when they are inappropriate
  • Document exceptions here
  • Capitalize only the first letter of the page title, proper nouns, and acronyms
  • Do not use pseudo-namspaces
• Use HTML for inline equations, LaTex for equations on their own line
• Each lab should have its own main page with links to all the component pages
• There should only be a link to the lab main page from the wiki main page
• Hyperlinks should be meaningful
  • Some seminal visions of hypertext documents envisioned that every word on a page would be a hyperlink. Unfortunately, in HTML all links carry equal emphasis. Thus, readers cannot easily differentiate between low- and high-value links. The bodies of articles on this wiki should include only high-value links. Do not include a link in the body of a page unless you intend that it is to be followed by most of students. Lower value links can be included in separate section at the end of the page that clearly delineates their purpose, with a title such as "See also."
