Eigenvector Reference Manual Style Guide

The following style rules should be followed for all new reference manual entries.

  • Top-level segments get three =s ===Synopsis=== These sections include:
    • Purpose
    • Synopsis
    • Description
    • Examples
    • Options
    • Algorithm
    • See Also
  • Some standard sub-topics can be used in Description. These sections are delineated with four =s ====Inputs==== and include:
    • Inputs
    • Optional Inputs
    • Outputs
Note: These sub-topics are always plural, even if there is only one item in the list (e.g. one output)
  • Matlab code can be provided using either:
    • Indenting (i.e. start line with a semicolon) - use for Synopsis section and for single lines of code in description
    • Preformatted code using either:
      • start line with one or more space characters
      • wrap code in a <pre> </pre> tag
