1.1       raeburn     1: \label{Authoring_Daxe_Left_Panel}
                      2: 
                      3: \textbf{Daxe Left Panel}
                      4: 
1.2     ! raeburn     5: There is a hidden panel to the left, which is revealed by dragging the gutter on the left side.
        !             6: 
1.1       raeburn     7: \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{daxeleftpanel}
                      8: 
1.2     ! raeburn     9: The panel contains 2 tabs: insert and tree. The insert tab lists only the elements that can be inserted 
1.1       raeburn    10: at the cursor position, in the order that they should be inserted in when such an order is required.  
                     11: Help buttons provide access to more help about them. Since there can be a lot of elements there sometimes, 
                     12: a filter can be used to display only certain categories of elements.
                     13: 
                     14: The tree tab displays the structure of the document.  
                     15: Clicking on an element moves the main display to its location.
                     16: 
                     17: The left panel is initially hidden because it is not necessary to use the editor, 
                     18: and the insert panel would sometimes confuse new users: it is tempting to think of it as the only way 
                     19: to insert elements, but it is often easier to use the menus for that, 
                     20: as they are organized with submenus. Because the insert tab is preserving element order 
                     21: when the document requires elements to be ordered, it cannot be organized like the menus 
                     22: (and this would just be redundant anyway). 
                     23: 
                     24: The tree tab is convenient to navigate within long documents, 
                     25: but again this is not very important for new users, and LON-CAPA documents are often short.
