I am reading the documentation here http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTrackHubHelp.html under the heading "*Step 7. Create the trackDb.txt files*". I have two questions: 1. This documentation says "If the tracks are grouped into larger entities, such as composite or super-tracks, the larger entities will have a stanza in the file as well." However, I don't see any documentation or examples of what such a composite stanza should look like. Can someone point me to an example? 2. This documentation says "At a minimum, each trackDb.txt file must contain at least five tags." Where can I find the documentation for the other allowed tags? Thanks.
