Template Documentation

Please note that all information on this page is in a draft version.
Please check back often for details.

Overview

This page documents the templates available for iGEM teams to use. The templates use HTML to present information and CSS to style the content.
There are 3 styles available:

Templates
Palettes
Template A
#000000 #565656 #24B694 #59BF92 #E8E8E9 #FFFFFF
Template B
#0E232F #EE3E53 #F4B248 #E8D5B7 #A7A9AB #EEEDEA
Template C
#28221E #DB1E39 #14747D #F4EFD8 #F4EFD8 #FFFFFF

HTML and CSS

We strongly recommend using html rather than wiki code. HTML is highly flexible and is supported on almost every browser.
Wiki code can be used for specific things, like calling a template or creating a table for your team parts, to make a "pause" in your HTML code, you can briefly close and open the < html > tag:

		</html>
			************** Wiki code can be placed here **************
		<html>



Creating a new wiki page

Creating a new wiki page is very easy. Simply type the name of the page in your url bar. Be sure to create every page inside your team's name space. The following line creates a page in the 2015 iGEM server, under the Team Example namespace with the page name "ProjectResults".

https://2015.igem.org/Team:Example/ProjectResults




Applying template

To apply the template to your page, use the following code:

		{{TeamTemplateA}}
		<html>	

				************** Your html content will be placed here **************

		</div></div>
		</html>
  1. Call the template you wish to apply to the page - in this case we are calling TeamTemplateA.
  2. Open an < html > tag- this tells the page that the code in between tags will be html.
  3. This is where you will write the content for your page.
  4. Close the < div > tags - In the template, #contentContainer and #mainContainer were created, this marks where they end.
  5. Close the < html > tag - this is the end of the page.



The menu for wiki exists inside your team's template. You can add more menu items and submenus items and link them to other pages.

Adding menu items

Go to the #menuContainer and add < li > item to your < ul > list.

<a href=" link "><li>MENU ITEM 1</li></a>

Your menu list should look like this

		<div id="menuContainer">
			 <ul>
				<a href=" link "><li> MENU ITEM 1</li></a>

				<a href=" link "><li> MENU ITEM 2</li></a>

			 </ul>
		 </div>
Adding submenu items

To create submenu items you will need to create a list inside an existing list item.

		<div id="menuContainer">
			 <ul>
				<a href="#"><li> MENU ITEM 1</a>
            				<ul>
						<a href=" link "><li> SUBMENU ITEM 1</li></a>
						<a href=" link "><li> SUBMENU ITEM 2</li></a> 
             				</ul>
				</li>
			 </ul>
		 </div>

Make sure you close the < li > tag after the sublist.

Note: Are you using template C?

The process is the same, however you will need to edit the width of the menu buttons, to do simply change the following:





Text

To create text simply call the < p > tag:

 <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, vis in paulo munere, mel commune ocurreret ex. </p>



Links can be created with the < a > tag:

 <a href="  link url "> name of the link </a>



List

To create a simple list you will need to open a < ul > tag and then create < li > list item for every bulleted item you wish to create. You can also use < ol > (ordered list) instead of < ul > (unordered list) to replace the bullet points with numbers

			 <ol>

				<li> List item 1 </li>
				<li> List item 2 </li>
				<li> List item 3 </li>

			 </ol>

Lists can also be nested within themselves, here is an example:

			 <ul>

				<li> List item 1 
					<ol>
						<li> sublist item 1 </li>
						<li> sublist item 2 </li>
						<li> sublist item 3 </li>
					</ol>
				</li>

			 </ul>



Tables

Tables are styled and ready to use with any of the 3 templates. To create on, use the following code:

		<table> 

			<tr> 
				<th> Header 1  </th> 
				<th> Header 2 </th> 
			</tr> 

			<tr>  
				<td> Content A 1 </td>  
				<td> Content B 1 </td>  
			</tr> 

			<tr> 
				<td> Content A 2 </td>  
				<td> Content B 2 </td> 
			</tr> 

		</table> 

This code will create a table with 3 rows and two columns, you can add as many as you like.




Highlight Boxes

You can create a highlight box by calling the class "highlightBox", this will create a box with a different background and a smaller width.

			
		<div class="highlightBox">
			<h4> Title of Highlight Box  </h4 >
			<p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, vis in paulo munere, mel commune ocurreret ex. </p>
		</div>



Changing colors

You can edit any of the colors of the templates. You can use your school's colors or any other palette you like.

Here are some websites that can serve as inspiration:

Background color

You can change the color of background by changing the last line of the following part of the code:

		/* Set up a width, height and color of the body wrapper*/
		body { 

			...
			background-color: #A7A9AB;
		}



Changing the font

		#mainContainer {  
			
			...
			font-family: "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, sans-serif;
		}

Here is a small list of web safe fonts:

  • Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif
  • Century Gothic, sans-serif
  • Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif
  • ‘Trebuchet MS’, Helvetica, sans-serif
  • Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
  • Georgia, Serif
  • ‘Palatino Linotype’, ‘Book Antiqua’, Palatino, serif
