\textbf{Organization of the Daxe User Interface} 

A window or tab with the Daxe editor is initially divided into 2 parts: 
the document to be edited to the left, and a preview to the right. 
The preview is updated whenever the document is saved.

At the top, a menubar provides File and Edit menus, 
several hierarchical menus to insert elements, and a menu to insert templates. 
These insert menus are grayed out when it is not possible to insert a given 
element at the cursor position. To display a help bubble about an element, 
move the cursor over the chosen menu, and pause briefly.

Below the top menubar is the toolbar, described afterwards.

The path to the cursor position from the document root is indicated for 
information at the bottom. For instance, \texttt{/Problem[1]/Paragraph[2]/}
means that the cursor is in the second paragraph inside the problem.
