<p><strong>Alignment Annotation</strong></p>\r
\r
-<p>In addition to the definition of groups, Jalview also allows you to\r
-mark particular columns of an alignment and add symbols and text in\r
-the annotation area shown below the alignment (which may be hidden if\r
-<strong>View→Show Annotation</strong> is not ticked).\r

+<p>In addition to the definition of groups and sequence features,\r
+ Jalview can display symbols and graphs under the columns of an\r
+ alignment, and allow you to mark particular columns of an alignment and add symbols and text \r
+ in the annotation area shown below the alignment (which may be hidden if <strong>View→Show \r
+ Annotation</strong> is not ticked). </p>\r
+<p>Web services can also add annotation to an alignment (see the\r
+ <a href="../webServices/jnet.html">JNet web service</a>), and as of Jalview 2.08 quantitative and symbolic\r
+ annotations can be added to an alignment via an <a href="annotationsFormat.html">Annotations \r
+ File</a> dragged into the alignment window or loaded from the\r
+ alignment's file menu.</p>\r

Annotation rows are added using the <strong>Annotation Label</strong>\r
menu, which is obtained by clicking anywhere on the annotation row labels\r
area (below the sequence ID area).\r

-Annotation is stored and retrieved using <a\r

-annnotation is also possible, but currently only possible with the\r
-JNet web service, or by creating your own Jalview Archive (which\r
-contains XML conforming to the Jalview-Vamsas XML schema).\r

<p><em>Current Limitations</em></p>\r
\r
your annotation as a Jalview file, however, it will be reloaded with user \r
annotations at the top (nearest the alignment), above any of the\r
automatically generated Conservation, Quality or consensus\r
-annotations.</p>\r
+annotations. Finally, the Jalview GUI will not, as yet, allow you to output\r
+Jalview annotation files for the current alignment, change the line\r
+colour, display style, or create groups of quantitative annotation rows.</p>\r
