= Overview =

The Cytoscape user manual exists as a wiki page: [[Cytoscape 2.3 User Manual]]

When editing the manual, please use GIF or PNG files for all screenshots. Do not use JPG, as this is a lossy file format.

When creating a manual for a new version, the manual from the pervious version should be copied to a new page. This is so we can keep old versions of the manual for those using older versions of Cytoscape.

During the release process, the page will be automatically converted to DocBook format and then to various other formats, like PDF and Java Help

= Style Guide =

 * Try not to use underlines.  Underlines generally indicate hyperlinks, and using underlines w/o such hyperlinks tends to confuse the user.  Use bold instead.
 * To describe user menu actions, use the following template:  '''File → Import →  Network'''.
 * Resize images to a max width of 600 pixels.  The images should not be so big as to overhwelm the reader.
