Lab_Protocols

This repository contains Whitehead Lab laboratory protocols.

Update as protocols change.

All protocols should be written in markdown- github flavored markdown is a good choice.

Options for writing in markdown

this is just a sampling. Many people do many things....

1. Plain text editor

   • for example, Sublime text, Atom, text wrangler, etc.
   • Atom
     • has built in markdown preview (access using ctl+m)
   • sublime text
     • can install packages that allow for markdown previewing
   • Atom and sublime text have syntax highlighting, not sure about text wrangler

2. markdown text editor

   • mou, mac down.
   • Instantaneously preview your markdown file

3. Plain text editor + grip

   • My current preferred choice bc it previews in github flavored markdown
   • can preview your md file as html in browser (automatically updates when you save).
   • then can print to pdf and/or actually print
   • Preview file with grip
     • grip -b FILEPATH
   • Save to html
     • grip FILEPATH --export optionalname.html

4. plain editor + pandoc

   • pandoc can be used to md convert to html, pdf, etc.
     • all in latex style
   • pandoc input.md -o output.pdf
   • or, to adjust margins
     • pandoc -V geometry:margin=1in input.md -o output.pdf
