-<p><em>Maximise Window</em> - If this is selected, a new alignment
-window will stretch to fit the available space.</p>
-<p><em>Open Overview Window</em> - When this is selected, the <a
- href="overview.html">alignment overview</a> panel is opened by default
-for a new alignment window.</p>
-<p><em>Show Annotations</em> - If this is selected the new window
-will display an annotation panel below the sequences. This annotation
-panel may have several rows describing the whole alignment. The 3
-standard annotations <em>Conservation</em>, <em>Quality</em> and <em>Consensus</em>
-for the alignment may be shown or hidden by default using the checkboxes
-below.</p>
-<p><em>Show group: Conservation and Consensus</em> controls the
-display of per-group automatic annotation.</p>
-<p><em>Consensus: Histogram and Logo</em> checkboxes control the
-display of the consensus histogram and sequence logo for consensus
-annotation rows.</p>
-<p><em>Full Sequence ID</em> - If selected the ID panel will display
-the name of a sequence plus the start and end residues in the format
-name/start-end. If not selected, the displayed ID will be the name of
-the sequence.</p>
-<p><em>Right Align IDs</em> - select to align all sequence IDs to
-the left-hand edge of the sequence alignment, rather than the left-hand
-edge of the alignment display window.</p>

-<p><em>URL Link From Sequence ID</em><br>
-These definitions are used to generate URLs from a sequence's ID or
-database cross references. Read more about <a
- href="../webServices/urllinks.html#urllinks">configuring URL links
-here</a>.</p>
-<p><em>Default Browser (Unix)</em><br>
-Its difficult in Java to detect the default web browser for Unix users.
-If Jalview can't find your default web browser, enter the name or full
-path to your web browser application.</p>
-<p><em>Proxy Server</em><br>
-If you normally use a proxy server for using the internet, you must tick
-the box "Use a Proxy Server" and enter the address and port
-details as necessary. Web Services will not work if you are using a

-<p><em>EPS Rendering Style</em><br>
-This is a selection box which allows the user to set a default rendering
-style for EPS export:
-<ul>
- <li>"Lineart"<br>
- EPS files will accurately reproduce the alignment view in Jalview and
- all characters will be converted into line art. Files generated in this
- way are large and are not easily editable, but have no font table
- dependencies.</li>
- <li>"Text"<br>
- EPS files will be a mixture of text and lineart. This produces compact
- files that can be edited easily in programs like Microsoft Word and
- Adobe Illustrator, but can be problematic if the fonts available to
- jalview are not accessible by the program reading the EPS file.
- <li>"Prompt each time"<br>
- Choose this to be asked select between Lineart and Text each time you
- make an EPS file.</li>
-</ul>
-</p>
-<p><em>Sequence//Start-End Numbering</em><br>
-The output tab also has a group of checkboxes for each file format. If
-these are ticked, then Jalview will write files with the start and end
-sequence positions appended to each sequence id: <pre>

AACDEAAFEA
</pre>
-<p>If the boxes are left unchecked for a particular format, the
-sequence limits will not be appended to the sequence id.</p>
-</p>
-<p><em>Use Modeller Output</em></p>
-<p>This option only applies to PIR format output. Jalview
-automatically reads PIR files with sequence descriptions compatible with

-<p><a name="editing"><strong>Editing Preferences tab</strong></a></p>
-<p>There are currently 2 options available which can be selected /
-deselected.</p>
-<p><em>AutoCalculate Consensus</em> - For large alignments it can be
-useful to deselect "Autocalculate Consensus" when editing.
-This prevents lengthy calculations which are performed after each
-sequence edit. New alignment windows will have their "Autocalculate
-Consensus" option set according to this setting.</p>
-<p><em>Pad gaps when editing</em> - New alignment windows will
-"Pad Gaps" according to this setting.</p>
-<p> </p>
-<p> </p>
+ <p>If the boxes are left unchecked for a particular format, the
+ sequence limits will not be appended to the sequence id.</p>
+ <p>
+ <em>Embed BioJSON to HTML export</em>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When this option is enabled, Jalview embeds <a
+ href="bioJsonFormat.html"
+ >BioJSON</a> data within HTML files exported from Jalview at
+ generation time. This enables the exported HTML files to be
+ extracted and imported back into the Jalview desktop application at
+ a later time.
+ <p>
+ <em>Use Modeller Output</em>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This option only applies to PIR format output. Jalview automatically

+ <p>
+ <a name="editing"><strong>Editing Preferences tab</strong></a>
+ </p>
+ <p>There are currently three options available which can be
+ selected / deselected.</p>
+ <p>
+ <em>AutoCalculate Consensus</em> - For large alignments it can be
+ useful to deselect "Autocalculate Consensus" when editing.
+ This prevents lengthy calculations which are performed after each
+ sequence edit. New alignment windows will have their
+ "Autocalculate Consensus" option set according to this
+ setting.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <em>Pad Gaps when Editing</em> - New alignment windows will
+ "Pad Gaps" according to this setting.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <em>Sort with New Tree</em> - When selected, any trees calculated or
+ loaded onto the alignment will automatically sort the alignment.
