 <section id="spellcheck">
   <title>Spell Check</title>
   <p>Tomboy can check the spelling of your words as you type in a note.
   Spell check is enabled by default and Tomboy will underline any 
   misspelled words.  You can see spelling suggestions by using your mouse
   to right click on the misspelled word.
   </p>
   
   <p>To disable automatic spell checking, use your mouse or the spacebar
   to uncheck <gui>Spell check while typing</gui> in the <gui>Editing</gui>
   tab of Tomboy's Preferences.</p>
   
 </section>

 <section id="wikiwords">
   <title>WikiWords</title>
   <p>Tomboy can highlight words that <gui>LookLikeThis</gui>.  By 
   capitalizing multiple words together without using spaces, similar to how
   a wiki works, Tomboy will highlight the word and make it a link.  Clicking
   the link will create a new note with the WikiWord as the note title.
   </p>
   
   <p>WikiWords are disabled by default.  To enable WikiWords, use your mouse
   or the spacebar to check the box to enable <gui>Highlight WikiWords</gui> in
    the <gui>Editing</gui> tab of Tomboy's Preferences.</p>

 <section id="bullets">
   <title>Auto-Bulleted Lists</title>
   <p>Tomboy can create bulleted list automatically.  This option is enabled
   by default and when you are editing a note, typing <key>*</key> followed
   by the text and pressing <key>Enter</key> will automatically create a 
   bulleted list.  After pressing <key>Enter</key>, the next line will start 
   with a bullet too.
   </p>
   
   <p>To disable auto-bulleted lists, use your mouse or the spacebar
   to uncheck <gui>Enable auto-bulleted lists</gui> in the <gui>Editing</gui>
   tab of Tomboy's Preferences.</p>
   
 </section>

 <section id="customfont">
   <title>Custom Fonts</title>
   <p>You can choose to use a font or font size in Tomboy different than the
    default font of your desktop.  This feature is disabled by default.
   </p>
   
   <p>To enable a different font, use your mouse or the spacebar
   to uncheck <gui>Use custom font</gui> in the <gui>Editing</gui>
   tab of Tomboy's Preferences.</p>

   <p>You can then press the font button and a font dialog box will appear,
    allowing you to choose which font you wish to use, the style, such as bold
    or italic, and the size of the font.  Press <key>Ok</key> to save your 
    selection.</p>

 <section id="renamelinks">
 
   <title>Renaming a Linked Notes</title>
   <p>Tomboy automatically creates links between notes when you type the
   title of a saved note in your current note.  If you try to rename a note
   that has links to it in other notes in Tomboy, you can choose the default
   behavior Tomboy should use when detecting a change.  Your options include:
   </p>
   
   <list>
     <item><p><gui>Ask me what to do</gui>: Tomboy will prompt you each
     time it detects a change with one of the below options.</p></item>
     <item><p><gui>Never rename links</gui>: Tomboy will leave the other
     notes as they are and unlink the notes.</p></item>
     <item><p><gui>Always rename links</gui>: Tomboy will automatically
     rename all the links in other notes to the note you have renamed.
     </p></item>
   </list>
   
   <p>Choose one of the above options from the drop down box to the 
   right of <gui>When renaming a linked note:</gui> in the <gui>Editing</gui>
   tab of Tomboy's Preferences.</p>
   
 </section>

<section id="newnotetemplate">
  <title>Create a New Note Template</title>
  <p>You can create a new template that is displayed every time you create 
  a new note.</p>
  
  <p>Press the <gui>Open New Note Template</gui> button in the 
  <gui>Editing</gui> tab of Tomboy's Preferences. A new template will be
  displayed that looks similar to a Tomboy Note.  Replace the <gui>Describe
  your new note here.</gui> text in the note with the text that should be the
  new template.  Close the note to complete creating a new template.
  Each time you create a new note that template will be displayed in the new 
  note.</p>
