        !             4: for Syllabus and Feeds. For all other course participants, the inline menu will include a \textbf{Syllabus} item, unless the Syllabus has been included in the course's Content area, and items have been added to it. There is also a link to a course's syllabus for each course listed on a user's \textbf{Roles} screen.
