RE: RE: How do I give figure captions in Amaya?

Should the docs tell people how to use HTML to do specific tasks?  There are already great places to learn that.  For example, see http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp.  

Or should they be focused on "If you want to write arbitrary valid HTML here is how you do it."?



Thanks

I agree the forum should not be a place for requesting help, but the requests indicate that the possibility of gaps in or poor indexing of the help pages should be considered.

Best regards,
