== A Note About This Guide ==
This is a brief style guide for authors. For information about styles and conventions used in marking up articles for WordPress, see: [http://wiki.code4lib.org/Code4Lib_Journal_WordPress_Input_Guidelines Code4Lib Journal WordPress Input Guidelines].
== Start of Article ==
== Headings ==
Use H2 for main Major 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 Subheadings are in "Sentence case" -- only the first word is capitalized. == Figures & Tables == Figures and tables are centered, placed inside a P or DIV with class of "caption". For example: <pre><p class = "caption"><img src = "...."><strong>Caption for Figure</strong><p> <div class = "caption"><table><tr>...</tr></table></div></pre> Captions for figures appear beneath the figure, centered, with "Figure X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text. Captions for tables and code appear above the table, centered, with "Table X:" in bold, the descriptive text in sentence case, plain text. == Code == Code samples entered as preformatted text, as in the following example, are automagically color highlighted in Wordpress by the [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/ SyntaxHighlighter] plugin: <pre><pre>[sourcecode language='php']RAW HTML/PHP/XML/Etc. code goes here; change language (in above line) as needed[/sourcecode]</pre></pre> Supported formats include <tt>cpp, c, c++, c#, c-sharp, csharp, css, delphi, java, js, jscript, javascript, pascal, php, py, python, rb, ruby, rails, ror, sql, vb, vb.net, xml, html, xhtml, and xslt</tt>.
