This is a standard paragraph ('p' tag) of explanatory text. The next part of the page demonstrates how to create a multi-column layout using the grid layout feature of bootstrap.css, a widely used stylesheet which is now included in the browser static pages.

Page section (h2)

This is one of two subsections, formatted as equal-sized columns. The bootstrap grid contains 12 columns; column widths are specified using classes 'col-md-1' through 'col-md-12'. This example contains two divs, each assigned class 'col-md-6', within a 'row' div.

NOTE: The two columns are displayed only on wide screens. On small screens, the sections will be stacked vertically (a feature of bootstrap responsive layout).

Subsection (h3)

This is the next level, a subsection. Use an 'h3' tag for this. To structure content below this level use a list, table, or titled paragraph:

Titled paragraph

Use the 'h6' tag at any level in the section hierarchy to precede a paragraph with a bolded title.

Lists

The description of lists below is formatted as an HTML definition list. Use this format when defining terms or phrases. (You will not see this much in our current pages -- instead, this type of text was usually styled ad-hoc using 'strong' and 'br' tags).

Definition list: Use the 'dl' tag to enclose the full list, then 'dt' for each item term, and 'dd' for each item definition.
Bulleted list
Numbered list: Use the 'ol' (ordered list) tag to enclose the full list, then 'li' for each list item.

List Examples

- Here is a bulleted list ('ul' and 'li' elements): + Here is a bulleted list ('ul' and 'li' elements). To suppress the 'bullet' add the + class 'gbsNoBullet' to the 'ul' tag.

red
white
blue

Here is a numbered list ('ol' and 'li' elements):

chrom - The name of the chromosome (e.g. chr3, chrY, chr2_random) or scaffold (e.g. scaffold10671).
chromStart - The starting position of the feature in the chromosome or scaffold. The first base in a chromosome is numbered 0.
chromEnd - The ending position of the feature in the chromosome or scaffold. The chromEnd base is not included in the display of the feature. For example, the first 100 bases of a chromosome are defined as chromStart=0, chromEnd=100, and span the bases numbered 0-99.

Tables

Here is a table ('table', 'tr', 'th', and 'td' elements):

Type	Total
Chromosomes	261
Haplotypes	261
Unlocalized contigs	1270

Code

Here is some code in a preformatted section ('pre' and 'code' tags):

sudo -i
 bash browserSetup.sh install

And here is some text with a bit of code embedded (just the 'code' tag)..

Section with a picture and caption

Use the 'img' tag to include the picture file, which is typically in .jpg or .png format. Images should normally have their 'width' and 'height' attributes set in the 'img' lement. To right-align the image add the 'gbsAlignRight' class. The caption is a 'p' element, which is assigned the 'gbsCaption' class.
