Git script guidelines
Guide lines
To make a good PyMOL wiki page, you can follow some few guidelines. Some should be seen as mandatory, and are marked.
Tips and tricks
Use of module syntaxhighlight
You can see here, that PyMOL wiki has the SyntaxHighlight module installed.
Supported languages for Highlighting is listed here.
Put your example code snip, within these brackets.
<syntaxhighlight lang="python"> </syntaxhighlight>
Use of module include
If your code section is very small, and you want to show it directly at the PyMOL wiki page, you can fetch the code directly from Github and show it on the Wiki page. Read more here.
Categories
You also should put you script in a category. See categories here: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Category:Script_Library
You add your script to a category, by writing these lines in the end of the wiki page. Examples:
[[Category:Script_Library]] [[Category:Structural_Biology_Scripts]]
Template for a new page
The following sections, can for example be copied to a new page.

This pymol script is made by you
Introduction
A little section about what the script can do, and maybe why it has been developed and under which protein discipline it is particularly useful.
Functions
If there are more than one function, you could list them here.
- Make a dot
- Write under same dot
Example of use
Here you write some example of use. Try to make examples, that anyone can access right away.
Do this by fetching proteins, and if you need other example files, but them in: Pymol-script-repo/files_for_examples
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
import colorbydisplacement
fetch 1HP1, async=0
fetch 1HPU, async=0
hide everything
### Select asymmetric units from pdb file
create O5NT, /1HP1//A
create C5NT, /1HPU//C
delete 1HP1
delete 1HPU
show cartoon, O5NT
show cartoon, C5NT
