 <h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
 
-
 <h4>Context Sensitive Zooming</h4>
 <p>
   This track employs a technique which chooses the appropriate visual representation for the data based on the
   zoom scale, and or the number of annotations currently in view.  The track will automatically switch from the
   most detailed visualization ('Full' mode) to the denser view ('Pack' mode) when the window size is greater
   than 45kb of sequence.  It will further switch to the even denser single line view ('Dense' mode) if more than
   500 annotations are present in the current view.
 </p>
 <h4>Dense Mode Visualization</h4>
 <p>
   In dense display mode, a single line is displayed denoting the coverage of repeats using a series
   of colored boxes.  The boxes are colored based on the classification of the repeat (see below for legend).
 <br>
 <br>

 </p>
 <h4>Pack Mode Visualization</h4>
 <p>
   In pack mode, repeats are represented as sets of joined features.  These are color coded as above based on the
-class of the repeat, and the further details such as orientation (denoted by chevrons) and a family label are provided.

 <p>
   For example, the following repeat is a SINE element in the forward orientation with average
   divergence. Only the 5' proximal fragment of the consensus sequence is aligned to the genome.
   The 3' unaligned length (384bp) is not drawn to scale and is instead displayed using a set of
   interruption lines along with the length of the unaligned sequence.
 </p>

 <p>
   Repeats that have been fragmented by insertions or large internal deletions are now represented
   by join lines.  In the example below, a LINE element is found as two fragments.  The solid
   connection lines indicate that there are no unaligned consensus bases between the two fragments.
   Also note these fragments form the 3' extremity of the repeat, as there is no unaligned consensus
   sequence following the last fragment.
 </p>
 
 <img src="/images/rmskExample2.svg">
 
 <p>
   In cases where there is unaligned consensus sequence between the fragments, the repeat will look like
   the following.  The dotted line indicates the length of the unaligned sequence between the two
   fragments.  In this case the unaligned consensus is longer than the actual genomic distance between
   these two fragments.
 </p>
 
 <img src="/images/rmskExample3.svg">
 
 <p>
   If there is consensus overlap between the two fragments, the joining lines will be drawn to indicate
   how much of the left fragment is repeated in the right fragment.

   A &quot;?&quot; at the end of the &quot;Family&quot; or &quot;Class&quot; (for example, DNA?)
   signifies that the curator was unsure of the classification. At some point in the future,
   either the &quot;?&quot; will be removed or the classification will be changed.</p>
