<p><strong>Editing</strong></p>\r
+<p><em>Jalview 2.08 Enhancements -</em> Editing can be restricted to the current \r
+ selection area. This allows the user to "Lock" the alignment either \r
+ side of the selection area. Any gap insertions or deletions will only affect \r
+ the current selection area. </p>\r
+<p><img src="editing.jpg" width="428" height="186" align="top"></p>\r
+<p>In this example, if Sequence IL2RA_MACMU has gaps removed from position 98-104, \r
+ the same number of gaps will be inserted at position 116, (between M and L). \r
+</p>\r
+<p>Editing is possible via the keyboard by toggling the Cursor mode on / off with \r
+ F2. A full list of keyboard editing actions is found <a href="../keys.html">here</a>. \r
+</p>\r
+<p><strong>Tip:</strong> For large alignments, deselect "Calculate -> \r
+ Autocalculate Consensus" to prevent the alignment performing lengthy calculations \r
+ after every edit. </p>\r
<p><em>Inserting / removing gaps</em> - hold down the "Shift" key. Click\r
a residue with the mouse and drag the residue to the right to insert gaps or\r
to the left to remove gaps.<br>\r

<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>As of Jalview 2.08 precalculated annotations can be added to alignments from \r
+ the command line, drag and drop, or from the "File-> Load Features / \r
+ Annotations" menu item. See the <a href="annotationsFormat.html">Annotations \r

-<p><a href="features/seqfeatures.html">Sequence Features enhanced</a> to allow\r
