- Compromise to support display in both contextual online help, and aggregated
  in manual (PDF).
  - Identify the "section" by name, because the \ref is converted to a question
    mark icon only, and not a number in online help context.

\label{Resource_Discussion}

Unless banned by an instructor, all resources in the course can host
discussion, which means students may post comments that will appear to all viewers. 

For all course members a \includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{chat} icon appears on the \textbf{Course Contents} screen next to any resource with new discussion postings. 
In addition, course personnel will see new discussion 
on their \textbf{What's New?} screens within the box headlined 
\textbf{Unread course discussion posts}. 

Instructors may allow course participants 
to post anonymously or not, and course personnel can still see who posted
the anonymous messages. "Anonymous" only prevents students from knowing who posted. (Sometimes instructors or TAs post anonymously to discreetly
help the students.) Course personnel may hide or delete inappropriate
messages.

To participate in discussion on a resource, click 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{chat} \textbf{Post Discussion} 
at the bottom of a resource.  If you want to reply back to a particular post, then click the appropriate \underbar{Reply} link.

To control how discussions are displayed, see ``Change the way Discussion Posts are Displayed'' section (\ref{Change_Discussion_Display}).
