== Start of Article ==

Article titles are in Title Case -- all major words capitalized. The title is followed by an abstract and byline of the form "by Author" or "by Author 1, Author 2, and Author 3".

== Headings ==

Use H2 for main section headings, H3 for sub-sections, H4 if you need a lower level. H2 are in "Title Case" -- all words capitalized, short words (the, a, in, up, over, about) should not be. H3 and H4 are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized.

== Figures & Tables ==

Figures and tables are centered.

Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

Captions for tables appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text.

== End of Document ==

=== Footnotes & Footnote References ===

A Notes section (if needed) immediately follows the last of the article's narrative text. Notes are indicated in the text either by note number in square brackets [1] or by author and year [Smith, 2007]. Where notes refer to articles, books, etc., that are not available by direct link, insert a [[COinS (layman's description) | COINS]] element after the note.

=== Author Biography ===

Text provided by each author is listed after the Notes.


=== Appendices ===

If there are appendices, they appear after the author biography.
