% Important note:
% This template requires the labbook.cls file to be in the same directory as the
% .tex file. The labbook.cls file provides the necessary structure to create the
% lab book.
%
% The \lipsum[#] commands throughout this template generate dummy text
% to fill the template out. These commands should all be removed when
% writing lab book content.
%
% HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE
% Each day in the lab consists of three main things:
%
% 1. LABDAY: The first thing to put is the \labday{} command with a date in
% curly brackets, this will make a new section showing that you are working
% on a new day.
%
% 2. EXPERIMENT/SUBEXPERIMENT: Next you need to specify what
% experiment(s) and subexperiment(s) you are working on with a
% \experiment{} and \subexperiment{} commands with the experiment
% shorthand in the curly brackets. The experiment shorthand is defined in the
% 'DEFINITION OF EXPERIMENTS' section below, this means you can
% say \experiment{pcr} and the actual text written to the PDF will be what
% you set the 'pcr' experiment to be. If the experiment is a one off, you can
% just write it in the bracket without creating a shorthand. Note: if you don't
% want to have an experiment, just leave this out and it won't be printed.
%
% 3. CONTENT: Following the experiment is the content, i.e. what progress
% you made on the experiment that day.
