Welcome to NC Labs!

This site hosts various articles, ~~and a blog where I publish my daily life and experiments on the computer~~ (not yet). On this page you can read about the formatting and requirements of this site. If this is the first time you visit NC Labs then reading this page is recommended.

Disclaimer

Requirements

These requirements are not a necessity, but they are required to see this site as intended. I put a lot of time in the design of this site, so please view it the way it should be.

Browser

For this site you need a decent browser. This site uses features like Javascript and CSS3 that aren't supported by the older browsers. Please get a decent browser like Chrome, Firefox or maybe even Opera. Internet Explorer is not a decent browser. Internet Explorer doesn't support CSS3, supports only a slight tip of Javascript and somehow always manages to fuck up something on my site. If you use Internet Explorer I would suggest you go and get a decent browser immediately.

Javascript

Javascript should be enabled in your browser. You can use the site if you have it disabled, but some things like adding captions to images are done through Javascript. There are no real reasons to run without Javascript nowadays, so I suggest you enable it.

Formatting

Now that you have a decent browser, let's move on to the formatting. You may have noticed some cursive words, sentences with a red background and dotted underlines but what do these mean?

Emphasizing

This site uses a few types of emphasizing each with a different meaning:

Warning the reader with a red background. This usually contains a warning or extremely important information.
Helping the reader (HTR) by explaining abbreviations. You can recognize an abbreviation with explanation by a dotted underline.
Getting attention by making the text bold.
Expressing sarcasm or doubt by using italics.

Note the lack of underlining which is reserved for links.

Code snippets

Code snippets are displayed on two ways: inline and in a code box. Inline code is shown like this. This is the code box:

#header {
	height: 79px;
	width: 401px;
	background: url(/images/header.png) no-repeat;
	margin: 1em auto;
}

#footer {
	font-size: .9em;
	text-align: center;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 1em;
	background: #CCC;
	border-top: .5em solid #AAA;
	margin-top: 2em;
}

#footer a, #footer a:visited, #footer a:active {
	color: #844;
	text-decoration: none;
}

#footer a:hover {
	text-decoration: underline;
}

#menu {
	line-height: 1.6em;
	text-align: center;
	text-transform: uppercase;
}

#menu a {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: #99AA55;
}

Quoting

A quote can easily be recognized. It looks like an ordinary blockquote with a thick left border.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras ut nunc neque. Sed at tortor at turpis malesuada pulvinar nec sit amet augue. Fusce nec mauris sem, sed convallis neque. Sed justo mi, tristique eu blandit non, ultricies eget eros.
