The PsychDB Manual of Style (MoS) is the style manual for all PsychDB articles. This MoS details PsychDB's house style, to help editors write articles with consistent and precise language, layout, and formatting, making PsychDB easier and more intuitive for users.
All PsychDB articles follow a structured following format:
Code
====== Article Title (h1) ====== **Article Title (Abbreviation)** is bolded with a one sentence introduction. ===== Primer (h2) ===== ==== Subheading (h3) ==== ===== Resources (h2) =====
Rendered Code
