Details pages should be consistent from track to track.
To ease the burden on QA, developers are requested to:
 
 
 
#  html docs should conform to Jim's suggested 80-char width.
#  Units are separated from the numbers by a space:  "200 bp", not "200bp".
#  We are using data as a plural noun.  "Data are" not "Data is." It may seem awkward at first, but you'll get used to it.
#  "It's" means "It is."  "Its" is possessive.  It's not that hard to keep grammar in its place, if you think about it.
#  "Display Conventions and Configuration" section should cover all track types.
#  For ENCODE tracks, the page should include contact information for the submitting lab.
 
<B>Refs</B>
 
#  All references to websites not in our domain require the TARGET = _BLANK tag.  We simply have to add it if y'all don't.
#  Papers are referenced with outlinks in one place at the bottom of the page only, not in the text above.  In the text we simply say something like "Euskirchen, <EM> et al.</EM>, 2007".  Particularly if the paper is in preprint or Epub, we then only have to change the ref in one place.
#  Refs are in PubMed format (see [[CBSE_citation_format]]).
#  Refs with many authors are truncated to 10 authors and et al. (ital).
