! 7: There is a hidden panel to the left, which is revealed by dragging the gutter on the left side.
! 8: It contains 2 tabs: insert and tree. The insert tab lists only the elements that can be inserted
! 9: at the cursor position, in the order that they should be inserted in when such an order is required.
! 10: Help buttons provide access to more help about them. Since there can be a lot of elements there sometimes,
! 11: a filter can be used to display only certain categories of elements.
! 12:
! 13: The tree tab displays the structure of the document.
! 14: Clicking on an element moves the main display to its location.
! 15:
! 16: The left panel is initially hidden because it is not necessary to use the editor,
! 17: and the insert panel would sometimes confuse new users: it is tempting to think of it as the only way
! 18: to insert elements, but it is often easier to use the menus for that,
! 19: as they are organized with submenus. Because the insert tab is preserving element order
! 20: when the document requires elements to be ordered, it cannot be organized like the menus
! 21: (and this would just be redundant anyway).
! 22:
! 23: The tree tab is convenient to navigate within long documents,
! 24: but again this is not very important for new users, and LON-CAPA documents are often short.
