HTML Tables
Code:
<table> <tr> <th>Heading 1</th> <th>Heading 2</th> <th>Heading 3</th> <th>Heading 4</th> <th>Heading 5</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Row 1-1</td> <td>Row 1-2</td> <td>Row 1-3</td> <td>Row 1-4</td> <td>Row 1-5</td> </tr> </table>
| Heading 1 | Heading 2 | Heading 3 | Heading 4 | Heading 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Row 1-1 | Row 1-2 | Row 1-3 | Row 1-4 | Row 1-5 |
| Row 2-1 | Row 2-2 | Row 2-3 | Row 2-4 | Row 2-5 |
| Row 3-1 | Row 3-2 | Row 3-3 | Row 3-4 | Row 3-5 |
Math / Equations
Usage: \(A_{sv} = (A_{sd} * Sn_w) - I_{vol}\)
Output:\[A_{sv} = (A_{sd} * Sn_w) - I_{vol}\]
Construct equations using LaTeX. More indepth instructions and example can be found here.
The following formatting rules will be applied to all equations:
- no equation numbers (e.g. do not indicate "Equation 1", "Equation 2", etc.
- the equation should be indented once (:) and written in 5 point font.
- The "where" term, which identifies the terms used in the equation, is regular font, left indented, with a space between it an the equation
- the terms under the "where" heading are 5 point font; the remaining text is regular font
- numbers and non-formula text (i.e. not equation terms) are not italicized
- equation terms under the "where" heading are indented once (:)
- no bold
It is recommended you use the Math function. However,if using the Math function you will need to overide the centering, adjust the font, and correct use of italics.

Bootstrap specific design elements
Alert Messages
Usage:
{{alert|This is your message|alert-danger}}
Examples
This is an alert message! (alert-under-review)
This is an alert message! (alert-under-construction
Tooltips
Usage: {{tip|Something|This is the tooltip!}} or {{tip|[[A Link]]|This is the tooltip!}}
Examples
Something
Popovers
Usage: {{pop|This is a popover|Popover Title|Popover Content}}
Example: This is a popover
Citations/references
The basic concept of the ref tag is that it inserts the text enclosed by the ref tags as a footnote in a designated section, which you indicate with the placeholder tag references /. See [1]
Equations
The following conventions should be followed when writing math equations
- It is recommended to use the math function
- There should be no text in the equation other than equation terms
- Use coding for the Math extension (see Help:Contents)
- Combine numeric terms to the extent possible
- Use spacing between terms
- Do not use * to denote multiplication
For example, the equation a = 0.5 inches * (b - c) * 1/20 can be rewritten a = 0.25 (b - c)
The following conventions should be followed when writing the explanation for equation terms
- "where" should be left justified and lower case
- terms following "where' should be indented once (:)
- the terms should be italicized if they are italicized in the equation
- follow each equation term description with a semicolon; the next to last description should include "and" after the semicolon
- you will manually have to insert subscript and superscript commands
- you will manually have to change the font size to 3
Other conventions to follow
- do not use equation numbers (e.g. equation 1)
- do not use bold
- utilize a space between the equation and the "where" term
An example equation is shown below and a screen shot of the code used to generate this equation is included below.
\(V_wq = 1815 (IC - CA)\)
where:
- Vwq = required water quality volume in cubic feet;
- IC = new site impervious cover, in acres;
- CA = total natural area conserved at site, in acres; and
- 1815 is a term used to convert the volume to cubic feet
Rule 2 (Stormwater Ponds and Constructed Wetlands Draining to Special Waters) and Rule 4 (Non-Ponds Draining to Special Waters):
\(V_wq = 3630 (IC - CA)\)
where:
- Vwq = required water quality volume in ft3
- IC = new site impervious cover, in acres
- CA = total natural area conserved at site, in acres
Table formatting
- all text is left justified
- font size for headings is 3
- font size for footnotes is 1
- tables are sortable
- in the header but separate from the title include a link to the table (Link to this table name
Figure formatiing
- figures are 300 px
- use thumb command to include a heading
- all figures must be properly cited
- all figures must have alt text
- font size for figure headings is 3
- all figures must be placed in an appropriate category
- Photo
- Schematic
- Graph
- Maps
