This version of research projects is a custom section and does not have official lab website template style documentation. In general the style follows the existing members and news posts sections. For any other questions, please ask Nathan Wolf-Sonkin.
In general, all images should be stored in the /images/ directory. Member images are stored in /images/members/, news images are stored in /images/news, and so on.
Data related to a news post or research project such as locally stored research papers should be stored in their respective directories.
Example:
_posts/2020-07-25-trail-will-present-1-paper-at-iros-2020.md references an internally stored research paper. This paper is stored at /news/papers/ChenDamesIROS2020.pdf because it is a paper related to the news post.
For other any other questions, please check out the official Lab Website Template documentation or GitHub repository.
