        !             2: 
        !             3: \textbf{Daxe Left Panel}
        !             4: 
        !             5: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{daxeleftpanel}
        !             6: 
        !             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.
