Manuscript Preparation Guidelines
If your article is to be published we ask you to do a small amount of mark-up on the text as follows.
Marking up italics
Please mark up all italicised words, including book, software or journal titles etc. by using the emphasis tag: <em>this is my italic text</em>
Marking up headings
Please use the h2 tag to identify headings: <h2>Heading</h2>.
Please use the h3 tag to identify sub-headings: <h3>Subheading</h3>.
Marking up code snippets
Please use the pre tag to mark up code snippets and other text that should be specially formatted:: <pre>my code text</pre>
Mathematical formulae
we use the MathJax plug-in for formulae, which entails a simple mark-up.
Marking up footnotes

NB please do not include any other square brackets in the text of the footnote, apart from the two indicating the start and end of the footnote.
For example, this:
