Introduction
Once we have set up the infrastructure, we are ready to write the tutorial.
Agenda
In this tutorial, we will cover:
The tutorial’s content should be placed in the file tutorial.md
. Its syntax and structure are simple, and will have the following structure:
---
layout: tutorial_hands_on
title: Title of the tutorial
zenodo_link: ''
questions:
- Which biological questions are addressed by the tutorial?
- Which bioinformatics techniques are important to know for this type of data?
objectives:
- The learning objectives are the goals of the tutorial
- They will be informed by your audience and will communicate to them and to yourself
what you should focus on during the course
- They are single sentences describing what a learner should be able to do once they
have done completed tutorial
- You can use Bloom's Taxonomy to write effective learning objectives

Metadata
The tutorial.md
needs to start with some metadata at the top:
layout: tutorial_hands_on
: keep the defaulttitle
: title of the tutorial (it will appear on the tutorial page and the topic page)level
:Introductory
,Intermediate
orAdvanced
enable
:false
to hide your tutorial from the topic page (optional)zenodo_link
: link on Zenodo to the input data for the tutorial
hands_on Hands-on: Fill the basic metadata
Update the tutorial information in the header section of your tutorial:
title: "Similarity search with BLAST"
(Optional) Add the Zenodo link (if created)
This information is used to display the data from the topic and tutorial page. They are also used to check which information is missing for the tutorials.
We also define metadata related to the pedagogical content of the tutorial, which will appear at the top (“Overview” box) and bottom of the online tutorial:
requirements
: list of resources that the reader of the material should be familiar with before starting this training:type
: the type of link (internal
orexternal
)
For internal, i.e. inside the Galaxy Training Material:
topic_name
: name of the topictutorials
: list of required tutorials inside of the topic
For external:
title
: title of the external resourcelink
: URL to the external resource
time_estimation
: an estimation of the time needed to complete the hands-onquestions
: list of questions that will be addressed in the tutorial-
objectives
: list of learning objectives for the tutorialA learning objective is a single sentence describing what a learner will be able to do once they have done the tutorial
-
key_points
: list of take-home messagesThis information will appear at the end of the tutorial
-
follow_up_training
: list of resources that the reader of the material could follow at the end of the tutorialtype
: the type of link (internal
orexternal
)
For internal, i.e. inside the Galaxy Training Material:
topic_name
: name of the topictutorials
: list of required tutorials inside of the topic
For external:
title
: title of the external resourcelink
: URL to the external resource
They will be displayed at the end of the tutorial.
subtopic
: if the topic has multiple subtopics defined, you can assign your tutorial to one of those subtopics here. Without this, the tutorial will appear in the “Other tutorials” section on the topic page.
For this category of metadata, we have taken inspiration from what Software Carpentry has done and particularly what they described in their Instructor training.
hands_on Hands-on: Fill out the pedagogical metadata
- Define 2 questions that will be addressed during the tutorial and add them to the metadata
- Define 2 learning objectives for the tutorial and add them to the metadata
comment When filling the pedagogical metadata
We recommend that you fill out the questions and the learning objectives before starting writing the tutorial content. You can still refine them afterwards, but it will help to guide you in developing your tutorial, and gives you some time to think beforehand on what topics are worth being covered.
For the take-home messages, it is easier to define them once the tutorial is written and you identified the issues.
Content
The tutorial’s content is written directly after the section of metadata. This is written in Markdown, a simple markup language.
comment Markdown
Check this cheatsheet to learn more how to use Markdown.
The Markdown content is then transformed into a user friendly webpage through a templating system. With this approach, there is no need to add the name of every tutorial each time, since they are automatically added based on the tutorial’s metadata.
To help developing the tutorial, we recommend to create a workflow of the different steps of the tutorial inside Galaxy first, and then you can create the structure of the tutorial automatically from that:
hands_on Hands-on: Create the structure of the tutorial from a workflow
- Create a small workflow with one or two steps on a running Galaxy instance
- Add the topic name as Tag and the tutorial title as Annotation/Notes to the workflow using the workflow editor.
- Get the workflow id
- Go the “Share” page of the workflow
- Copy the information after
id=
in the URL of the page- Get your API key for this Galaxy instance
- Click on User –> Preferences
- Click on Manage API key
- Click on Create a new key (if none is available)
- Copy the API key
Generate the skeleton of the tutorial locally
$ planemo training_generate_from_wf \ --topic_name "my-topic" \ --tutorial_name "my-new-tutorial" \ --galaxy_url "URL to Galaxy instance in which you created the workflow" \ --galaxy_api_key "Your API key on the Galaxy instance" \ --workflow_id "ID of the workflow on the Galaxy instance" \ --zenodo_link "URL to the Zenodo record (Optional)"
comment Using a local workflow
It is also possible to download the workflow locally (with the
.ga
extension), and then run a slightly different command:$ planemo training_generate_from_wf \ --topic_name "my-topic" \ --tutorial_name "my-new-tutorial" \ -- workflow PATH/to/the/file.ga \ --zenodo_link "URL to the Zenodo record (Optional)"
- Inspect the generated
tutorial.md
The generated tutorial is structured with:
- An introduction, to give an overview of the tutorial with its use cases, data, and methods
- Multiple sections representing the steps of the analysis, complete with automatically generated hands-on blocks, as practicing is a vital part of the learning process
- A conclusion to summarize what has been done in the tutorial (with a graphic)
hands_on Hands-on: Filling out the structure of the tutorial
- Fill out the “Introduction” with a general introduction of the tutorial and a small description of the dataset (goals)
- Rename/restructure the sections with several levels and more explication
- Add some theory about the tool used to introduce each section
- Add a small conclusion and relate the results to the original question
Adding images with captions
To add an image in Markdown file, we need to use the markdown syntax for this: 
.
We have also added a small plugin to handle captions for each image:

The prefix “Figure 1.” is automatically added before its caption. This is done with the following Markdown syntax:

We can also cross-reference images inside our Markdown with an anchor. For example, we can link to the previous figure using [the display text](#figure-nb)
(changing nb
with the image’s number).
Guidelines on Alt vs Figcaption Text
While both the alt attribute and the figcaption element provide a way to describe images, the way we write for them is different.
alt
descriptions should be functional;figcaption
descriptions should be editorial or illustrative.
As an example for this image:


Field | Appropriate Contents |
---|---|
alt text | Image of cell membrance with an embedded protein with central pore. DNA is shown splitting and entering the pore, an electrical signal comes out reading A C T or G. |
figure caption | Using nanopore sequencing, a single molecule of DNA or RNA can be sequenced without the need for PCR amplification or chemical labeling of the sample. (Image from: Nanopore sequencing: The advantages of long reads for genome assembly) |
Writing mathematical expressions
Mathematical expressions can be written in LaTeX, and are automatically rendered with MathJax.
Surround your math expression with two $
signs on each side (like in LaTeX math blocks):
- inline expressions, e.g.
$$ 5 + 5 $$
will be rendered as \(5 + 5\) -
block expressions, e.g.
\[5 + 5\]$$ 5 + 5 $$
will be rendered in its own line block as
Dollar signs are therefore reserved characters for instructing the templating system to open/close LaTeX math blocks. If you want to use a $
within your expression, you will need to escape it: $$ a + 3\$ = 5\$ $$
will be rendered as: \(a + 3\$ = 5\$\)
LaTeX code that uses the pipe symbol |
in inline math statements may lead to a line being recognized as a table line by the templating system.
This can be avoided by using the \vert
command instead of |
Tables and Matrices
Tables can be generated using markdown by using the |
symbol to indicate column dividers, and --
for table headers:
| | Obs1 | Obs2 | Obs3 |
|------ |--------------------|
| Feat1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| Feat2 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Feat3 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
When rendered, they will take the full width of the page:
Obs1 | Obs2 | Obs3 | |
---|---|---|---|
Feat1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
Feat2 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
Feat3 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
This does not appear to be visually appealing when representing matrices, which is why a matrix box can be used instead:
> | | Obs1 | Obs2 | Obs3 |
> | ----- |--------------------|
> | Feat1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
> | Feat2 | 1 | 2 | 3 |
> | Feat3 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
{: .matrix}
The rendered table is then given as a minimum-width and centred matrix:
Obs1 Obs2 Obs3 Feat1 0 1 2 Feat2 1 2 3 Feat3 2 3 4
Improving the learning experience
To improve the learning experience in our tutorial, we define some boxes to highlight content.
These boxes are defined always with the same structure:
> ### {% icon an_icon %} Type of box: Name of the box
> list
{: .type_of_box}
You must follow this structure exactly for it to be rendered correctly.
Overview box
This box at the top of each tutorial is automatically generated using the metadata we defined in the topic’s metadata file:
Overview
question Questions
- Which biological questions are addressed by the tutorial?
- Which bioinformatics techniques are important to know for this type of data?
objectives Objectives
- The learning objectives are the goals of the tutorial
- They will be informed by your audience and will communicate to them and to yourself what you should focus on during the course
- They are single sentences describing what a learner should be able to do once they have completed the tutorial
- You can use Bloom’s Taxonomy to write effective learning objectives

solution Solution
The take-home messages are not added to this box but into the last box of the tutorial
Agenda box
In most tutorials, the second box is the agenda box, placed at the end of the introduction. It shows the table of contents for the tutorial
> ### Agenda
>
> In this tutorial we will deal with:
>
> 1. TOC
> {:toc}
>
{: .agenda}
There is no need to fill out the list; this will be done automatically based off of your tutorial’s section title.
To avoid adding the “Introduction” and “Conclusion” sections in the agenda, you can add {:.no_toc}
below the section name. This will be rendered as follows:
Agenda
In this tutorial we will deal with:
- TOC
Hands-on box
We find that having users walk through the tutorial, doing all of the steps is important for learning the concepts taught. We therefore emphasize this by regularly adding hands-on sections, where trainees are encouraged to do the analysis by themselves. We have designed some special boxes to make these sections easier to find.
> ### {% icon hands_on %} Hands-on: Spliced mapping
>
> 1. **RNA STAR** {% icon tool %}: Map your reads on the reference genome with
> - *"Single-end or paired-end reads"*: `Paired-end (as individual datasets)`
> - *"RNA-Seq FASTQ/FASTA file, forward reads"*: the generated `trimmed reads pair 1` files (multiple datasets)
> - *"RNA-Seq FASTQ/FASTA file, reverse reads"*: the generated `trimmed reads pair 2` files (multiple datasets)
> - *"Custom or built-in reference genome"*: `Use a built-in index`
> - *"Reference genome with or without an annotation"*: `use genome reference without builtin gene-model`
> - *"Select reference genome"*: `Drosophila Melanogaster (dm6)`
> - *"Gene model (gff3,gtf) file for splice junctions"*: the imported `Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP6.87.gtf`
> - *"Length of the genomic sequence around annotated junctions"*: `36`
>
> This parameter should be length of reads - 1

> - *"Type of FastQC output?"*: `Log`
> - *"STAR log output"*: the generated `log` files (multiple datasets)
{: .hands_on}
For consistency please use:
{% icon hands_on %}
icon to define that is an hands-on- Short imperative sentences to make it easy to identify the tasks
- Name of the tool in bold followed by
{% icon tool %}
icon to make it easy to identify a Galaxy tool - Parameters for the tool as a sublist
This will be rendered like:
hands_on Hands-on: Spliced mapping
- RNA STAR tool: Map your reads on the reference genome with
- “Single-end or paired-end reads”:
Paired-end (as individual datasets)
- “RNA-Seq FASTQ/FASTA file, forward reads”: the generated
trimmed reads pair 1
files (multiple datasets)- “RNA-Seq FASTQ/FASTA file, reverse reads”: the generated
trimmed reads pair 2
files (multiple datasets)- “Custom or built-in reference genome”:
Use a built-in index
- “Reference genome with or without an annotation”:
use genome reference without builtin gene-model
- “Select reference genome”:
Drosophila Melanogaster (dm6)
- “Gene model (gff3,gtf) file for splice junctions”: the imported
Drosophila_melanogaster.BDGP6.87.gtf
“Length of the genomic sequence around annotated junctions”:
36
This parameter should be length of reads - 1
- MultiQC Tool: toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/multiqc/multiqc/1.8+galaxy0 : Aggregate the STAR logs with
- “Which tool was used generate logs?”:
STAR
- “Type of FastQC output?”:
Log
- “STAR log output”: the generated
log
files (multiple datasets)
There are also some predefined parameter icons available which can be used to indicate the type of parameter. These are optional, but may be helpful in some cases (for example to distinguish between single file inputs and collection inputs).
The available icons are:
> ### {% icon hands_on %} Hands-on: My Step
>
> 1. **My Tool** {% icon tool %} with the following parameters
> - {% icon param-text %} *"My text parameter"*: `my value`
> - {% icon param-file %} *"My input file"*: `my file`
> - {% icon param-files %} *"My multiple file input or collection"*: `my collection`
> - {% icon param-select %} *"My select menu"*: `my choice`
> - {% icon param-check %} *"My check box"*: `yes`
> - {% icon param-repeat %} **My repeat parameter**
> - *"param1"*: `42`
{: .hands_on}
which, when rendered, look like:
hands_on Hands-on: My Step
- My Tool tool with the following parameters
- param-text “My text parameter”:
my value
- param-file “My input file”:
my file
- param-files “My multiple file input or collection”:
my collection
- param-select “My select menu”:
my choice
- param-check “My check box”:
yes
- param-repeat My repeat parameter
- “param1”:
42
Tool Links
With the new GTN in Galaxy Webhook, trainees can view training directly within Galaxy. As part of this, we enable those trainees to click on tools, and have those tools directly activated in Galaxy, enabling for a seamless training experience for trainees.

To enable these in your tutorial you can use the following syntax:
- {% tool MultiQC %}
- {% tool [MultiQC](toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/multiqc/multiqc/1.8+galaxy0) %}
- {% tool [Import some data](upload1) %}
Which will be rendered as:
- MultiQC
- MultiQC Tool: toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/multiqc/multiqc/1.8+galaxy0
- Import some data Tool: upload1
When viewed through Galaxy, students will see:
Import some data Tool: upload1
How to find these IDs?
The easiest way is to use planemo to generate the training from a workflow. In recent versions of planemo, this is managed automatically.
The alternative is to figure out the ID for the tool you want to use:
- Find your tool in Galaxy, and click to access the tool form.
- Click on Options at the top right
- Click on Share
- The URL shown will be something like
https://usegalaxy.eu/root?tool_id=toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/galaxyp/mz_to_sqlite/mz_to_sqlite/2.0.4+galaxy1
- Keep only the part after the
=
, sotoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/galaxyp/mz_to_sqlite/mz_to_sqlite/2.0.4+galaxy1
in this example
Questions and solution boxes
Questions can be added to force trainees to think about what they are currently doing, and to put things in perspective. They can also help the instructors by exposing and clarifying common scenarios, errors, or applications.
> ### {% icon question %} Questions
>
> 1. Why are some tests filtered?
> 2. Does it improve the *p*-value distribution?
>
> > ### {% icon solution %} Solution
> >
> > 1. Sol for the first question
> > 2. Sol for the second question
> >
> {: .solution}
{: .question}
Which will be rendered as:
question Questions
- Why are some tests filtered?
- Does it improve the p-value distribution?
solution Solution
- Sol for the first question
- Sol for the second question
Questions should be quick to answer. You can directly ask a question and expect an answer, or you can provide some answers and create multiple choices questions (MCQs). With well chosen wrong answers, MCQs can do much more than just measure how much someone knows, such as exposing common misconceptions and mistakes.
In the box below, initially hidden, we add the correct answer and possibly any additional explanation. Self-trainees can then check the solution and its explanation.
Tips box
Tips boxes are really just for ‘tips’, usually hints regarding Galaxy operations that users may or may not be familiar with. If you want to provide extended discussion or links to external materials then consider the comment and detail boxes instead.
> ### {% icon tip %} Tip: Importing data via links
>
> * Copy the link location
> * Open the Galaxy Upload Manager
> * Select **Paste/Fetch Data**
> * Paste the link into the text field
> * Press **Start**
{: .tip}
Rendered:
tip Tip: Importing data via links
- Copy the link location
- Open the Galaxy Upload Manager
- Select Paste/Fetch Data
- Paste the link into the text field
- Press Start
Comments boxes
> ### {% icon comment %} Comments
> - Edit the "Database/Build" to select "dm3"
> - Rename the datasets according to the samples
{: .comment}
Rendered:
comment Comments
- Edit the “Database/Build” to select “dm3”
- Rename the datasets according to the samples
Details box
The detail box is used to give more background explanation on the subject. By default the box is collapsed, trainees can expand it if they wish to know extra information about a topic.
> ### {% icon details %} More details on the ....
>
> Add more details in Markdown...
>
{: .details}
Rendered:
details More details on the ….
Add more details in Markdown…
Key points box
This last box of the tutorial is automatically created with the take-home messages defined in the topic’s metadata
To render the boxes correctly, the syntax needs to be correct. If it doesn’t work, have a look at similar tutorials and get inspiration.
Warning box
> ### {% icon warning %} Danger: You can lose data!
> Something really bad can happen here!
{: .warning}
Rendered:
warning Danger: You can lose data!
Something really bad can happen here!
Nested boxes
Boxes can be nested, e.g. for having tips inside a hands-on:
> ### {% icon hands_on %} Hands-on: Defining the topic for the tutorial
>
> 1. Search for NCBI Blast+ on the [ToolShed](https://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/)

{: .hands_on}
Code box
We have added code in/out boxes to help you show commands, and their effects, when running command line commands.
Normally a single column, with the boxes above one another, it will automatically split side-by-side over a given width (1200px);
> > ### {% icon code-in %} Input: Bash
> > ```bash
> > cat /tmp/test.ini

> {: .code-in}
>
> > ### {% icon code-out %} Output
> > The file should look like:

> > listen = 192.168.0.2
> > apikey = super-secret-api-key-wow!
> > ```
> {: .code-out}
{: .code-2col}
Rendered (try it! resize your browser)
code-in Input: Bash
cat /tmp/test.ini
code-out Output
The file should look like:
[example] server_name = Dogs! listen = 192.168.0.2 apikey = super-secret-api-key-wow!
If you leave off the {: .code-2col}
, it will render as a single column always.
> ### {% icon code-in %} Input: Bash
> ```bash
> cat /tmp/test.ini

{: .code-in}
> ### {% icon code-out %} Output
> The file should look like:

{: .code-out}
Rendered:
code-in Input: Bash
cat /tmp/test.ini
code-out Output
The file should look like:
[example] server_name = Dogs! listen = 192.168.0.2 apikey = super-secret-api-key-wow!
FAQs (snippets)
Many common questions or instructions may be useful to share between different tutorials. For example instructions on how to start a new history or importing data. To make these types of snippets easier to re-use and avoid duplication, they are available in the form of snippets.
Finding snippets
These are available in folders named faqs
, either at the project level, topic level, or tutorial level.
- Project-level FAQs:
faqs/
faqs/galaxy/
for general Galaxy questionsfaqs/gtn/
for questions regarding the GTN website itself
- Topic-level FAQs:
topics/<topic>/faqs/
- for questions pertaining to that specific topic
- Tutorial-level FAQs:
topics/<topic>/tutorials/<tutorial>/faqs/
- for questions pertaining to that specific tutorial
- if this is present, it is linked to from the tutorial overview box at the top, and from the end of the tutorial
Including FAQs/snippets in your tutorials
To include one of these snippets in your tutorial, you can use the following syntax:
{% snippet faqs/galaxy/histories_create_new.md %}
Which will be rendered as:
Tip: Creating a new history
Click the new-history icon at the top of the history panelIf the new-history is missing:
- Click on the galaxy-gear icon (History options) on the top of the history panel
- Select the option Create New from the menu
The advantage of this approach is that when the Galaxy interface updates, we only have to update the snippet, rather than every tutorial. Please try to use snippets whenever you can!
You could also specify the box type you want the snippet to be rendered in:
{% snippet faqs/galaxy/histories_create_new.md box_type="hands_on" %}
Hands-on: Creating a new history
Click the new-history icon at the top of the history panelIf the new-history is missing:
- Click on the galaxy-gear icon (History options) on the top of the history panel
- Select the option Create New from the menu
or without a box altogether:
{% snippet faqs/galaxy/histories_create_new.md box_type="none" %}
Click the new-history icon at the top of the history panel
If the new-history is missing:
- Click on the galaxy-gear icon (History options) on the top of the history panel
- Select the option Create New from the menu
Creating new FAQs/snippets
Do you want to include something in your tutorial that you think might be useful in other tutorials as well? Or are you answering a frequently asked question? Consider creating a snippet for it
Each snippet (question) is a separate file, with some metadata, residing in one of the faqs
folders:
---
title: How do I run a workflow?
area: workflows # FAQs will be grouped by these areas on the FAQ page
box_type: tip # tip/comment/hands_on; optional, if you want the content to be in a box
layout: faq # if you set this the snippet will get its own page and be included in the FAQs page
---
Here you can write the snippet / answer to the FAQ in Markdown
- Go to `Workflows` on the top menu bar
- Click on ..
- ..
FAQ pages
All FAQs will also be collected on their own page, this makes it easy for and teachers to prepare the session, and for participants to quickly find the answers to common questions.
To do this, create a file named index.md
inside the faq folder:
---
layout: faq-page
---
If you would like to enforce an order of the faq areas, you can do so:
---
layout: faq-page
area_order: [introduction, learners, instructors, contributors, other]
---
(just make sure you list all existing areas in the folder)
If a tutorial-level FAQ page exists (topics/<topic>/tutorials/<tutorial>/faqs/index.md
) it will be automatically linked to from the overview box at the top of the tutorial, and at the end of the tutorial. Have a look at this tutorial to see it in action.
Icons
To use these icons, take the name of the icon, ‘details’ in this example, and write something like this in your tutorial:
{% icon details %}
