You should generally organize a protocol to have sections that are relevant from this list:
Include instructions that reference specific reagents (strains, primers, etc.) for performing positive and negative control reactions. It is very important and can save a great deal of time if you run these reactions to diagnose bad reagents or a general problem with carrying out the protocol versus a problem with applying it in a specific case.
These protocols are public, so don't post passwords, protected information, or copyrighted material. Use the internal Barrick Lab web pages for that.

%TOC%

In the above lists, twiki is doing the counting for you so you need only use "1", "A.", "a.", "I.", and "i." to get A,B,i,IV etc style formatting. This is especially helpful when you want to insert a new clarifying step in the middle of a protocol and not have to renumber all subsequent steps. While "*" and "1" can be used with a multiple of 3 spaces followed by a single space, A,a,I,i require a "." before the space to denote their list involvement.
