Section titles are formatted as header 2,
##, and followed by a blank line. -
Exercises are ordered lists (
1.,2.,3., ...), not lazy lists (1.,1.,1., ...) with two spaces after the dot (or one space for numbers > 9, < 100). Subsequent lines are hanging-indented four spaces. -
On Your Own questions are unordered lists (
-,-,-, ...) with three spaces following each-. -
For nested lists, see the OYO in lab 6 for an example of the preferred method.
-
All lists items should be followed by a blank line.
-
Wrap all lines, text and code, at 80 characters. The counter can be found in the lower left corner of the editor. Long urls or strings that should not be segmented can overflow as can lines of code that become confusing when broken up.

In-text numbers and basic math operators are not marked up. Latex is used for in-line mathematical variables (e.g.
$nS,$p$) and more complex symbols. Full equations should be displayed on a separate line with\[and\]. -
Any in-text code is marked up with backticks.
-
Force a line break with a backslash
\\. -
The OYO section should be offset with a horizontal rule that precedes it. For this, use

Don't embed links in text. Do this: "The BRFSS Web site ([http://www.cdc.gov/brfss] (http://www.cdc.gov/brfss))...". Not this: "The [BRFSS Web site] (http://www.cdc.gov/brfss)...". If teachers print the lab out, we want the links to be visible.

For superscripts used in text, use HTML instead of Latex: th
