1.5     ! bisitz      3: A symb is the unique name to an instance of a resource used in a course.
        !             4: For example, say you are using a problem located at
        !             5: /res/domain/user/some.problem. You may want to use this problem multiple times.
        !             6: Therefore each unique instance the problem is used in your course needs to be
        !             7: identified differently.  When you view the problem in your course, you will
        !             8: notice that pathname to the problem and its unique identifier, the symb, is
        !             9: listed in the URL.  Although, in the URL the symb has been reformatted to be
        !            10: used appropriately for the web.  Therefore, if you need the symb of a resource
        !            11: for a LON-CAPA application, do not copy and paste it from the URL.  Instead,
        !            12: display the Course Editor menu, and click the ``Content Utilities'' tab, and
        !            13: then click the ``List Resource Identifiers'' link.
