<p>This content is divided into three major sections. A platform specific section, a tutorial section, and a reference section. Returning users will notice the shift from a <em>next</em> / <em>previous</em> presentation to one that is more context based. Additionally the section numbering that used to appear in the table of contents, is now <em>only</em> in the content. To aid in this transition, when hovering over a fixed panel entry, the section numbers will appear as a hint. The links at the top of the content pane also provide hints!</p>

<p>While in the <em>table of contents</em> mode, the <em>fixed panel</em> shows the first level section titles in <strong>bold</strong> and one level below, however the <em>content pane</em> displays a complete listing of each section. If the number of fixed panel menu entries exceeds it's boundaries, a scroll bar is automatically added.  The content and menu panes scroll independent of each other, simply <em>hover</em> over either pane (or grab the scroll bar) to shift focus. In the <em>page content</em> mode, the fixed panel listing is complete, and as previously mentioned, section numbering appears in the content headings.</p>
 
<p>This content is best viewed on a screen that can support a resolution of at least <strong>1024 x 576</strong> pixels, but you could probably get by with something slightly less, however, in that case, the fixed panel menu <em>can</em> intrude into the content.
