Customization

• Change a single experiment by editing the index.html for the particular experiment that you are interested in. There are markers in the file indicating which sections should not be edited. You may decide to enter extended user instructions in this way. You may add a logo or any other type of html.
• To change the template from which all the experiments are generated, you need to edit the default.html file located in the /Experiments/ subdirectory. If you delete the line '$$instructions$$' or indent it in any way, no instructions will be inserted into subsequent subject interface pages (i.e., all index.html pages will lack an instructions block). If you tamper with the material within the markers, the interface will fail. That said, this might be a good way to add your company logo, preferred background color, and other local preferences. Just be careful. If you make changes that cause the application to fail, just extract a copy of default.html from the original distribution and place it in the ./Experiments/ subdirectory.
