Style Guidelines

Hyperlinks 

There are two ways to add hyperlinks in Scalar. The blue link button allows you to link to another Scalar page. The grey link button allows you to create a link to content outside of our Scalar book. When you add outside content, make sure to click the "open in a new browser window" box.

Citation Style

The citation style for this project is Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition. Please consult the Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition Guide.

Notes

To create a note add a bracketed number (sequential by page) at the end of the relevant sentence. Highlight the bracket and add your information using scalar's note function [1].  

Adding Media

All media added to this project should be: uploaded as a local or internet media file and assigned a title, description, and source. The title should  be the original name given to the resource represented; the description should provide a brief description of the representation and resource; and the source should contain information about where the source comes from. Note that you have to do this step first,  before you can add media to a Scalar page. 

Using Media

You can add media to a Scalar page in different ways. The first way, as in the selficity example above, is to add inline media. For this option you can manually select where you want to insert the media, and then choose the size, alignment, and caption. For this project, please select "title and description" for the caption. You can also create a media link, by highlighting the relevant text. This creates a direct link between the text and media. Again, please display the title and description. Scalar also allows you to annotate media and insert selected annotations into a page.
