To make the pages consistent, and protocols easy to follow, please follow these guidelines:

#Structure the protocol in the order you would follow in the lab.
#Number steps sequentially (1,2,3,4...); is there are sub-steps, clearly mark them using letters (a,b,c) or bullets
#If a protocol branches, use a horizontal line to separate branches, and provide links to each branch/reunion.
#If there are hints or tricks, enter them in the line below the relevant step, using the box-formatted text (under format entry).  For example:
<pre>Hint: The hint formatting can be found after Heading 6 in the format box
</pre>
#For larger protocols split into sections using header 4 as a label; this will auto-generate a legend to the major sections within the protocol.  Sub-sub sections can be labeled with header 5, and so forth.
#Recipes for any buffers not listed on the common buffers page must be listed at the end of the protocol, in a sub-section with the header "recipes".
#Please spell-check the page (copy into word, etc) before posting.
#If the protocol is based on a paper or other source, provide the reference to the original material<br>
#Please use the below outline as a general formatting guide:

= Page Outline: =

#Title in "Heading 1" format, with a horizontal line below it
#Brief preamble, describing purpose of protocol
#Main body of method
#*Divided into sub-sections if required
#Recipes
#References/Links

Note: Re-numbering of lines and multi-indent does not always work using the built-in rich text editor. If you are having issues, edit the raw text as follows:

*multi-indent = <nowiki>* (single indent) ** (double-indent) *** (triple indent)</nowiki>
*re-number line = <nowiki>#<li value="x">Item </li></nowiki>, where x = number to re-start at. This only needs to be done on the first item in a re-numbered list.

= Using Word: =

A plugin for word is available that will allow word-formatted documents to be saved as a text (.txt) file containing wikimedia markup language. Simply install the plugin, prepare the file in word, export (file -> saveas -> Mediawiki (*.txt). Open the .txt file, and copy the text into the wiki editor, while in wiki marpkup mode.
