This structure minimizes the risk of +name conflicts for pictures and other attachments during the FTC +season. Generally, directories logically organized by dates also +facilitate searching for specific information. + +\section{Package Description and Customization\label{sec:package}} + +The package parameters are used to customize the notebook with the +team name, team number, and the filename for a jpeg logo file. These +are required parameters, as this style will not work without them. In +particular, the logo file is expected to be either in the root +directory or in the src/image subdirectory. The second line of +Figure~\ref{fig:template} illustrates the mandatory parameters that +we used for our team. Use a "\textasciitilde" character instead of a +space when defining your parameters. + +In addition, each task in an FTC season is categorized by 6 distinct +activity kinds. The default activity kinds are "Strategy," "Design," +"Build," "Physics and Math," "Software," and "Team". The default +values can be changed easily using the Kind parameters +listed in Table~\ref{tab:arguments}. + +\begin{table}[H] + \begin{center} + \begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|p{5cm}|p{5cm}|} + \hline + \textbf{option name} & \textbf{description} & \textbf{default} \\ \hline + \texttt{Num} & team number & FTC\textasciitilde 000 \\ + \texttt{Name} & team name & Outstanding\textasciitilde Team \\ + \texttt{Notebook} & notebook type & Engineering\textasciitilde Notebook \\ \hline + \texttt{Green} & green color scheme & (default) \\ + \texttt{Orange} & orange color scheme & \\ + \texttt{Blue} & blue color scheme & \\ \hline + \texttt{Grid} & enables grid overlay over pictures & \\ \hline + \texttt{KindOne} & first task kind & Strategy \\ + \texttt{KindTwo} & second task kind & Design \\ + \texttt{KindThree} & third task kind & Build \\ + \texttt{KindFour} & fourth task kind & Physics and Math \\ + \texttt{KindFive} & fifth task kind & Software \\ + \texttt{KindSix} & sixth task kind & Team \\\hline + \end{tabular} + \end{center} + \caption{Parameters for package, using "\textasciitilde" wherever a space is needed.} + \label{tab:arguments} +\end{table} + +Additionally, default colors can be changed using one of the +Green, Orange, or Blue parameters. If more custom colors are desired, the +\cs{definecolor} commands as shown below can be used to provide a +specific RGB triplet of values for each of the five colors used by the +package. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \definecolor{TitleColor}{rgb}{0.65, 0.73, 0.29} + \definecolor{MainTableHeaderColor}{rgb}{0.84, 0.96, 0.29} + \definecolor{MainTableCellColor}{rgb}{0.70, 0.82, 0.32} + \definecolor{NormalTableHeaderColor}{rgb}{0.84, 0.96, 0.29} + \definecolor{NormalTableCellColor}{rgb}{0.94, 0.99, 0.78} + \definecolor{NormalTableCellWhite}{rgb}{1.0, 1.0, 1.0} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Example of how to change the default colors of the titles.} +\end{figure} + +These commands must be placed after the \cs{usepackage} command and +before the \cs{begin\{document\}} command. + +\section{Entering Text for a Meeting\label{sec:meeting}} + +In this section, we describe the environments and commands +used to generate a report summarizing the activities of a +meeting. A meeting can report a day's worth of work, or a weekend, or +even a week. Our preference is to use one meeting report per weekend. + +The structure of a meeting is as follows. It starts with a high level +description of the meeting, including date, title, and a list of +members that participated to the meeting. The high level description +also includes a list of task accomplished. The goal of this high +level description is to allow a team to quickly locate prior tasks +that were accomplished in a meeting. No-one will have to read the +whole file to determine if a new drivetrain was attempted on that +weekend, or not. It should be right at the beginning of the meeting +file. + +After the high level info, we will have the text, figures, and +tables associated with each of the tasks. + +\subsection{Meeting Description} + +\begin{macro}{Meeting} + +Let us now look at the format of a meeting entry, for example for an +hypothetical August~19 meeting written in a "src/aug18.tex" LaTeX +file. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{Meeting}[<kind>]% + {<title>} {<date>} {<duration>} {<members>}% + {% list of tasks + \TaskInfo{<task title>}{<task label>}{<task reflection>}% + } + % meeting info + \end{meeting} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Meeting entry (first and last command in a given meeting file).} + \label{fig:meeting} +\end{figure} + +The overall structure is a \texttt{Meeting} environment. In LaTeX, +environments are delineated with a \cs{begin\{env\}} command and a +matching \cs{end\{env\}} command at the end of the environment. The +\cs{begin\{Meeting\}} command initialize the \texttt{Meeting} +environment with one optional argument and five mandatory arguments. +This command should be the first LaTeX command in the "src/aug18.tex" +file. + +In LaTeX, mandatory arguments are given in curly braces, and optional +arguments are passed in square brackets. For commands with long +parameters, it is tempting to separate the arguments in many +lines. When doing so, especially with optional arguments, we +recommend to start a comment at the end of each of the parameter lines +(i.e. add a "\%" character). This will let LaTeX know that the next lines +may contain an additional argument. + +The first argument \oarg{kind} is optional and describes the meeting +kind. A typical meeting kind may be "Meeting," "Preseason," +"Competition," "Outreach," or something of this sort. "Meeting" is +used by default if the optional argument is omitted. The second +argument \marg{title} is mandatory and indicates the meeting's +title. The third argument \marg{date} is mandatory and provides the +meeting's date or date range. The fourth argument \marg{duration} is +mandatory and describes the duration of the meeting. The fifth +argument \marg{members} is mandatory and lists the name of the team +members present at the meeting. The sixth and last argument is +mandatory and provides a list of tasks performed at the meeting. This +list provides one \cs{TaskInfo} command per task. This command is +detailed in Section~\ref{sec:taskinfo}. + +After the \cs{begin\{Meeting\}} command, we have the actual +content of the meeting. We provide many commands to properly format +most typical entries, such as sections, subsections, figures, +tables, list of decisions... These commands will be detailed in +subsequent sections. + +The file is terminated by the \cs{end\{Meeting\}} command to +indicate that all of the info about this meeting has be given. It +will print a box where team members can sign the entry as requested +by FTC best practices. + +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\Signee} + +When giving the team member names in the mandatory \marg{members} +argument for the \texttt{Meeting} environment, you can indicate the +members that should sign the entry using the \cs{Signee} command with +the \marg{name} argument. For example, if Ann, Ben, and Carol attended +the meeting and you would like Ben and Carol to sign the entry, the +\marg{members} should be given as follows: ``Ann, \cs{Signee}\{Ben\}, +\cs{Signee}\{Carol\}''. + +\end{macro} + + +\subsection{Task Description\label{sec:taskinfo}} + +\begin{macro}{\TaskInfo} + +A meeting is structured in several tasks. Each task is first +described within the \cs{begin\{Meeting\}} command's sixth argument +using the \cs{TaskInfo} command. This command has three mandatory +arguments, as shown in Figure~\ref{fig:meeting}. + +The first argument \marg{task title} indicates the title of the +task. The second argument \marg{task label} provides a unique label +for this task. The third argument \marg{task reflection} is used to +provide a short reflection on the status of this task. This can +typically be something like "we discovered new problems," "we +realized that this approach works much better than previous +solutions," or any other high-level observation that you want +to share with the readers. + +If you accomplished three tasks during a given meeting, then three +\cs{TaskInfo} entries must be provided within the list of tasks. + +\end{macro} + +Now is a good time to mention how labels and references are used in +LaTeX. Wherever a reference is needed, we must give a unique string +that will describe the location in the document associated with the +label, typically a page, task, figure, or table number. We recommend +to structure the label with the kind (\texttt{task}, \texttt{fig}, +\texttt{tab}), followed by the file name, followed by a string that +make sense to the particular label. Later in the text, you can +explicitly reference the given label, for example with +"Task\textasciitilde \cs{ref\{task:aug19:challenge\}}," +"Figure\textasciitilde \cs{ref\{fig:aug19:lift\}}," or +"Table\textasciitilde \cs{ref\{tab:aug19:decision\}}." For users not +familiar with LaTeX, a "\textasciitilde" character is used to +represent a space where the text before and after the tilde cannot be +separated by an end-of-line. + +\begin{macro}{\TaskRef} +\begin{macro}{\TableRef} +\begin{macro}{\FigureRef} + +We also provide custom commands to generate the task/table/figure +number as well as the page number of where to find the +task/table/figure: \cs{TaskRef\{<label>\}}, \cs{TableRef\{<label>\}}, +or \cs{FigureRef\{<label>\}}. These commands are convenient to refer +to task/table/figures far in the past. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\Task} + +Between the \cs{begin\{Meeting\}} and \cs{end\{Meeting\}} constructs, +we must provide detailed info for each task. Below is the command +used to do to start the actual description of a given task. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \Task [<prior task>] {<first kind>} [<second kind>] + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Start of a task description.} + \label{fig:task} +\end{figure} + +This command will start a new task section. One such command is +needed for each of the \cs{TaskInfo} listed in the +\cs{begin\{Meeting\}} command. This command will reuse the title +listed by the \cs{TaskInfo} command in the same order. We decided on +this structure so that if a team member were to change the title of +the task in the \cs{TaskInfo} arguments, this change would +automatically be reflected at the start of the task's description +here. + +The first optional argument \oarg{prior task} let us indicates if +this task is a continuation of one or more prior tasks. We strongly +recommend to fill in this argument when appropriate. For example, if +a given task is the continuation of a task with label +\texttt{task:aug06:challenge}, the argument should be set to +\cs{TaskRef\{task:aug06:challenge\}}. + +The second mandatory argument \marg{first kind} indicates which kind +of tasks this is. Recall that we are able to change the default kinds +in Section~\ref{sec:package} in Table~\ref{tab:arguments}. If the +type corresponds to the first kind (e.g. "Strategy" by default), then +we expect the number "1" here. Acceptable values are numbers between +1 and 6, inclusively. Sometimes, it may be hard to classify a task +with only one type: the optional third argument \oarg{second kind} +let us input a second kind. The order between the first and second +numbers is not important. + +\end{macro} + +\subsection{Sections and Lists} + +\begin{macro}{\Section} +\begin{macro}{\Section*} +\begin{macro}{\Subsection} +\begin{macro}{\Subsection*} + +Now that we have a task section, we can can start filling the +description for that task. Most likely, we will want to have sections +and subsections to group related material +together. \cs{Section\{<title>\}} and \cs{Subsection\{<title>\}} +respectively starts a numbered section and subsection with the given +title. The starred versions are variants that omit the section +numbering. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\MeetingSummary} + +The \cs{MeetingSummary} simply emits a unnumbered section title with a +"Meeting Summary" title. + +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{EnumerateWithTitle} +\begin{macro}{ItermizeWithTitle} + +A frequent pattern is to have a section title followed by a list of +items. In LaTeX, numbered lists are referred as \texttt{enumerate} +environment and unnumbered or bulleted lists are referred as +\texttt{itemize} environment. Regardless of the type of list, +elements of the list always start with an \cs{item} command. + +While traditional LaTeX list environments can be used, we define here +two custom list environments that provide for an unnumbered section +title followed by a list of numbered or unnumbered list element. The +figure below illustrates a possible use of such constructs. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{EnumerateWithTitle}{A numbered list title} + \item one enumeration + \item another enumeration, add more as needed + \end{EnumerateWithTitle} + + \begin{ItemizeWithTitle}{A bulleted list title} + \item one bullet, add more as needed + \end{ItemizeWithTitle} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Titled sections with numbered and unnumbered lists.} +\end{figure} + +In general, you can always use the LaTeX default list environments +(to be used with \cs{begin\{<environment>\}} and +\cs{end\{<environment>\}}, namely \texttt{enumerate}, +\texttt{itemize}, or \texttt{compactitem} for, respectively, a number +list of items, a list of bulleted items, or a compact list of +bulleted items. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\subsection{Tables} + +When entering data for a task, one pattern that we often use is a +table of pros and cons arguments. We need a table +with three columns: one describing the option considered, a second +column describing the pros of this option, and a third column +describing the drawbacks of this option. Below is an example of such +a decision tables. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{DecisionTable} + {Decisions about lift} + {tab:aug06:lift:decision} + % + \TableEntryTextItemItem{ + drawer slides + } {% pros items + \item works well + } {% minus item + \item heavy + } + \\ \hline + % + \TableEntryTextItemItem{ + rev slides + } {% pros items + \item light + } {% minus item + \item difficult under heavily load + } + % omit "\\ \hline" for last row + \end{DecisionTable} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Example of decision table with pros and cons.} + \label{fig:decision example} +\end{figure} + +Before going in the details of the environments and commands, +Figure~\ref{fig:decision example} illustrates a comparison for a +lift, comparing drawer slides to REV slides. Each row is given by a +\cs{TableEntry} type of commands, two in this case, separated by +\cs{\textbackslash~\textbackslash hline} commands. This +first type of commands provides the data for a given row, and that +latter type of commands forces LaTeX to create a new line and +separate the entries by a horizontal line inside of the table. + +\begin{macro}{DecisionTable} + +A decision tables always consists of a table environment with three +columns. Its arguments are as follows. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{DecisionTable} [<first col name>]% + [<second col name>] [<third col name>]% + {<caption>} {<label>} + + \end{DecisionTable} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Decision table.} + \label{fig:decision} +\end{figure} + +The first three optional arguments, \oarg{first col name}, +\oarg{second col name}, and \oarg{third col name}, are used to change +the default column names, respectively "Option," "Pro," and "Cons." +The fourth mandatory argument \marg{caption} is the title of the +table. This caption will also be listed in the list of tables +generated by the \cs{ListOfTables} command. The fifth mandatory +argument \marg{label} is a label to be used when referencing the +table. We strongly encourage each table to be referenced at least +once in the text. + +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{DescriptionTable} +\begin{macro}{DescriptionTable*} + +We often need tables with two columns. For this purpose, we +propose the following \texttt{DescriptionTable} environments. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{DescriptionTable} {<first col name>}% + {<second col name>} {<caption>} {<label>} + + \end{DescriptionTable} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Decision table.} + \label{fig:description} +\end{figure} + +The first two mandatory arguments \marg{first col name} and +\marg{second col name} indicate the titles of each column. The +next tow mandatory arguments \marg{caption} and \marg{label} +provides, respectively, the caption and a label to refer to the +table. + +The two environments are very similar. The non-starred environment +has a narrow column followed by a wider column, ideal for title +followed by a longer text in the second column. The starred +environment has two columns of equal sizes. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\TableEntryTextTextText} +\begin{macro}{\TableEntryTextItemItem} + +The rows of tables with three columns are entered by the +\cs{TableEntryTextTextText} and \cs{TableEntryTextItemItem} +commands. Each take three mandatory arguments to input the data for each +of the three columns in a given row. The first command takes three text +entries, and the second command takes one text entry followed by two +bulleted lists. As shown in Figure~\ref{fig:decision example}, the +bulleted lists are entered as lines each starting by the \cs{item} +command. In tables, LaTeX does not like empty lines. So do not +include empty lines, and if you need a line break, you can always +enter the \cs{\textbackslash} new line command explicitly. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\TableEntryTextText} +\begin{macro}{\TableEntryTextItem} +\begin{macro}{\TableEntryItemItem} + +The rows of tables with two columns are similarly entered with the +\cs{TableEntryTextText}, \cs{TableEntryTextItem}, and +\cs{TableEntryItemItem} commands. Each takes two mandatory arguments, +one for each column. Text or items are expected in the arguments +depending on the name of the command used. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + + +\begin{macro}{RawDecisionTable} +\begin{macro}{RawDescriptionTable} + +Sometimes, you may need to get a decision or description table with an +arbitrary number of columns of varying different sizes. The +\texttt{RawDecisionTable} and \texttt{RawDescriptionTable} +environments allow you to create such tables. They take four mandatory +arguments: a column format given by \marg{format}, an ``\&'' separated +list of column titles given by \marg{titles}, a caption text given by +\marg{caption}, and a table label given by \marg{label}. Please refer +to the LaTeX \texttt{tabluar} environment for hints on how to express +table column format. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\subsection{Figures} + +Figures are important in notebooks, and the package +proposes several commands to help us with them. First, you need to +know that LaTeX primarily likes JPEG format, so pictures will +need to be converted to JPEGs. By convention, the pictures are +expected in the "src/aug19" subdirectory when processing the +"src/aug19.tex" meeting entry. It's a convention, not mandatory, but +useful to follow as long term there are lots of pictures, so grouping +them by meeting is convenient. + +\begin{macro}{\PictFigure}[H] + +The first, simplest command will generate a figure with a caption for +a single JPEG file. It expects the following arguments. + +\begin{figure} + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \PictFigure [<location>] {<jpeg file>} [<horizontal fraction>]% + {<caption>} {<label>} [<callout>] + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Figure with one picture.} +\end{figure} + +The second mandatory argument \marg{jpeg file} provides the path to +the JPEG file as well as the file name, including the ".jpg" +extension. It is best to use the full path from the root directory, +for example "src/aug19/game.jpg". The third optional argument \oarg{horizontal +fraction} provides an optional fraction (between 0 and 1) that +indicates the fraction of the horizontal page that should be utilized +for the picture. Default is 0.9 or 90\% of the horizontal space. The +fourth argument \marg{caption} is the caption text, and the fifth +argument \marg{label} is a label string used to create a unique +reference to this figure. The caption of each figure will also be +listed in the list of figures generated by the \cs{ListOfFigure} +command. + +Figures are floating object, they move where LaTeX estimate they fit +best. You can have some influence over the placement of the figures +using the first optional argument \oarg{location}. Possible values +are combinations of the entries shown in the table below. + +\begin{table}[H] + \begin{center} + \begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|p{9cm}|} + \hline + \textbf{Key} & \textbf{Description} + \\ \hline + h for here & try to put the figure close to where it is in the text \\ + t for top & try to put it at the top of a page\\ + b for bottom & try to put the figure at the bottom of a page \\ + p for page & try to put it on a separate page (not with other text) \\ + H for HERE & try harder to put it here \\ + ! & try to force your choice. \\ + htb & You can put several choices at once, e.g. a frequent one is [htb] % + for here, or top, or bottom. \\ + \hline + \end{tabular} + \end{center} + \caption{Values for floating object location in LaTex.} + \label{tab:location} +\end{table} + +The last optional argument \oarg{callout} is used to add one or more +callouts. Callouts are used to overlay a text box on a figure, along +with an arrow pointing to the location of the interesting feature +is. So for example, the \cs{Callout\{-6,5\}\{Look Here\}\{-1,1\}} +command place a text box with text "Look Here" at the coordinate (X, +Y) = (-6, 5) with an arrow starting at the box and pointing to the +coordinate (X, Y) = (-1, 1). You may have arbitrary many callouts +inside the \oarg{callout} optional argument. Recall that if you write +the callout argument on a new line, we recommend to start a comment +at the end of the prior argument lines (i.e. add a "\%" +character). This will let LaTeX know that the next line contains +the optional argument. + +Because callouts require us to know the precise coordinates at which +to locate the text box and the arrow, we have added a parameter to +the \texttt{ftc-notebook} package, namely \texttt{grid}, as defined in +Table~\ref{tab:arguments}. When setting this package parameter, every +figure will include a grid that will help us determine the proper +coordinates for the callouts. Simply remove the parameter when done. + +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\ExplainedPictFigure} + +Another frequent pattern is to have a picture one side of the page, +with a textual explanation next to it. For this pattern, we introduce the +\cs{ExplainedPictFigure} command which add one parameter to the +previous \cs{PictFigure} command to provide for a textual explanation. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \ExplainedPictFigure [<location>] {<jpeg files>}% + [<horizontal fraction>] {<caption>} {<label>} + {<explanation>} [<callout>] + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{An explained picture.} + \label{fig:explained picture} +\end{figure} + +Because the picture and the textual explanation share the width of +the page, we suggest to use a smaller fraction of the horizontal +space for the picture. In Figure~\ref{fig:explained picture} we may +use a \marg{horizontal value} of 0.5 for 50\% of the space for the +picture, thus leaving the remaining 50\% for the text. In the +mandatory argument \marg{explanation} we can enter a text such as the +one below. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + {% explanation (no empty line allowed); + Interesting features: + \begin{compactitem} + \item compact + \end{compactitem} + } + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Example of an explanation text.} + \label{fig:explanation text} +\end{figure} + +In this example, we have a phrase followed by a compact list of bullets. + +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{GroupedFigures} +\begin{macro}{PictSubfigure} +\begin{macro}{ExplainedPictSubfigure} + +Another frequent pattern is to add a group of pictures. To handle this +case, we introduce here a \texttt{GroupedFigures} environment +to encapsulate several subfigures. The commands are as below. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{GroupedFigures} [<locations>] {<caption>} {<label>} + + \PictSubfigure {<jpeg file>} [<horizontal fraction>]% + {<caption>} {<label>} [<callout>] + + \ExplainedPictFigure {<jpeg files>}% + [<horizontal fraction>] {<caption>} {<label>} + {<explanation>} [<callout>] + + \end{GroupedFigures} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Example of grouped figures.} + \label{fig:groups fig} +\end{figure} + +The \cs{begin\{GroupedFigures\}} has the usual optional argument +\oarg{location} and mandatory arguments \marg{caption} and +\marg{label}. + +In turn, all of the subfigures have arguments similar to the figures +command previously seen, expect that they omit the optional location +argument as they are already grouped in a single floating figure. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{RawPict} + +There is one additional command that is convenient for pictures. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \RawPict {<jpeg file>} {<horizontal fraction>} {<callout>} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Raw picture.} + \label{fig:raw picture} +\end{figure} + +This \cs{RawPict} command is used to insert a figure directly in a +table without labels, captions, and other arguments. It just take the +JPEG file name, its horizontal size, and callout which can be left +empty by using "\texttt{\{\}"}. + +\end{macro} + +This give you the essentials of the \texttt{ftc-notebook} package, many +more basic LaTeX command are useful, here is a list: +\texttt{enumerate}, \texttt{itemize}, \texttt{textbf}, handling +native \texttt{tabular} (tables in LaTeX) or \texttt{longtable} +(tables that can be split among consecutive pages). + +\section{Team Story\label{sec:story}} + +\begin{macro}{TeamStory} +We can add a "Team Story" page by using the following environment. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{TeamStory}{<moto>} + + % team story + + \end{TeamStory} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Team story.} + \label{fig:story} +\end{figure} + +This environment let us enter a team story page with a mandatory +\marg{moto} argument, for example the team goal of the team for the +season. + +\end{macro} + +\section{Team Biography\label{sec:bio}} + +\begin{macro}{Bio} +\begin{macro}{BioEntry} + +We can also add a list of biographies for each team member as follows. + +\begin{figure}[H] + \begin{dtxverblisting} + \begin{Bio} + + \BioEntry {<name>} {<title>}% + [<role title>] {<role description>}% + [<outreach role title>] {<outreach role description>}% + {<jpeg file>} [<horizontal fraction>]% + {<full bio>} + + \end{Bio} + \end{dtxverblisting} + \caption{Team biography table.} + \label{fig:bio} +\end{figure} + +The \texttt{Bio} environment creates a table in which the bio of each +team member can be given. The format for each team member comprises +of a picture given by the \marg{jpeg file} argument with the team +member's name from the \marg{name} argument and title from the +\marg{title} argument. + + +Below the picture, we will also generate two role entries, each with +an optional role title and a mandatory role description. This is can +be used to highlight the team role and outreach role of each team +member. The full bio given by \marg{full bio} is listed in a second +column, next to the picture. + + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\section{Miscellaneous Commands} + +\begin{macro}{\CoverPage} + +The \cs{CoverPage} command is used to generate a cover page for your +notebook. It takes two mandatory arguments: \marg{date} and +\marg{jpeg file}. The date is used to describe the season, +e.g. "2018-2019". The second argument gives the picture to be +used on the cover page. By default, the picture is expected in the +"src/image" directory, but you can provide a different file path to +the file, e.g. "src/story/teampict.jpg". + +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\ListOfTasks} +\begin{macro}{\ListOfFigures} +\begin{macro}{\ListOfTables} + +These commands create the corresponding list of tasks, figures, and +tables. We recommend that they are used before the \cs{StartNotebook} +command as the page numbering prior to the start command uses +alphabetical page numbering. This will allow the notebook to grow, +with the corresponding lists of tasks, figures, and tables to also +grow without changing the page numbering of your older notebook entry +pages. + +\end{macro} +\end{macro} +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\StartNotebook} + +Use this command to separate the front matter (cover pages and list +of content) from your actual notebook entry. + +\end{macro} + +\begin{macro}{\Month} + +The \cs{month} command is used to create a cover page for a new +month. It takes two mandatory arguments: \marg{month} and \marg{jpeg +file}.
