 <h2>General Structure</h2>
 <p>
 The bedMethyl format is line-oriented. BedMethyl data are preceded by a 
 <a href="customTrack.html#TRACK">track definition line</a>, which adds a number of options for 
 controlling the default display of this track.</p> 
 <p> 
 Following the track definition line are the track data in 18 column BED format:</p>
 
 <pre><code><em>chromA</em>  <em>chromStartA</em>  <em>chromEndA</em>  <em>dataValueA</em>
 <em>chromB</em>  <em>chromStartB</em>  <em>chromEndB</em>  <em>dataValueB</em></code></pre>
 
 <h3>Parameters for bedMethyl track definition lines</h3>
 <p> 
 All options are placed in a single line separated by spaces:</p>
 <pre><code><strong>track type=</strong>bedMethyl <strong>name=</strong><em>track_label</em> <strong>description=</strong><em>center_label</em>
-    <strong>visibility=</strong><em>display_mode</em> <strong>color=</strong><em>r,g,b</em> <strong>altColor=</strong><em>r,g,b</em>
-    <strong>priority=</strong><em>priority</em> <strong>autoScale=</strong><em>on|off</em> <strong>alwaysZero=</strong><em>on|off</em> <strong>gridDefault=</strong><em>on|off</em>
-    <strong>maxHeightPixels=</strong><em>max:default:min</em> <strong>graphType=</strong><em>bar|points</em> <strong>viewLimits=</strong><em>lower:upper</em>
-    <strong>yLineMark=</strong><em>real-value</em> <strong>yLineOnOff=</strong><em>on|off</em>
-    <strong>windowingFunction=</strong><em>maximum|mean|minimum</em> <strong>smoothingWindow=</strong>off|2-16</em></code></pre>
+    </pre>
 <p>
 <strong>Note:</strong> if you copy/paste the above example, you must remove the line breaks.</p>
 <p> 
 The track type is REQUIRED, and must be <em>bedMethyl</em>:</p>
 <pre><code><strong>type=</strong>bedMethyl</code></pre>
 <p> 
-The remaining values are OPTIONAL. The <a href="wiggle.html" target="_blank">wiggle</a> 
-documentation contains details on these options. A functional description of these options can be 
-seen in the <a href="hgWiggleTrackHelp.html" target="_blank">track configuration</a> description. 
-(Custom tracks do not have interactive configuration options.)
 
 <h3>Data Values</h3>
 <p>
 BedMethyl track data values can be integer or real, positive or negative values. The
 chromosome coordinates are <a href="../../FAQ/FAQtracks.html#tracks1">zero-based, half-open</a>. 
 This means that the first chromosome position is 0, and the last position in a chromosome 
 of length <em>N</em> would be <em>N - 1</em>. The positions listed in the input data must be in 
-numerical order, and only the specified positions will be graphed. bedMethyl format has four
+numerical order, and only the specified positions will be graphed. bedMethyl format has eighteen
 columns of data: <pre><code><em>chrom chromStart chromEnd dataValue</em></code></pre></p> 
 <p>
 <h2>Example</h2>
 <p>
-This example specifies 9 separate data points in three tracks on chr19 in the region 49,302,001 to 
-49,304,701. To view this example as a custom track in the Genome Browser, copy the text and paste 
-it into the browser annotation track text box.</p> 
-<pre><code>browser position chr19:49302001-49304701
-browser hide all
-browser pack refGene encodeRegions
-browser full altGraph
-#	300 base wide bar graph, autoScale is on by default == graphing
-#	limits will dynamically change to always show full range of data
-#	in viewing window, priority = 20 positions this as the second graph
-#	Note, zero-relative, half-open coordinate system in use for bedMethyl format
-track type=bedMethyl name="BedMethyl Format" description="BedMethyl format" visibility=full color=200,100,0 altColor=0,100,200 priority=20
-chr19 49302000 49302300 -1.0
-chr19 49302300 49302600 -0.75
-chr19 49302600 49302900 -0.50
-chr19 49302900 49303200 -0.25
-chr19 49303200 49303500 0.0
-chr19 49303500 49303800 0.25
-chr19 49303800 49304100 0.50
-chr19 49304100 49304400 0.75
-chr19 49304400 49304700 1.00</code></pre>

 <strong>Note:</strong>
 The above example is a custom track that includes a <code>track type=</code> line that is 
 specific for loading the data in the browser. This line will cause a raw bedMethyl data file to fail 
 validation by other tools, such as <code>validateFiles</code>, outside of the browser.</p>
