[Framers] OT: Punctuation question

[tammyvb at spectrumwritingllc.com]

You would think so, but in another part of the manual, there is a plot that
distinctly shows a legend, and instead of only referring to the legend (as
in see legend for plot details), I was required to literally explain the
legend verbatim, as in Forward is highlighted in blue, Reverse is
highlighted in red, non-directional is highlighted in black, etc. 

I am too old for this head-banging - I will pick my battles. . .

I would just say:
The information is displayed across five tabs: Overview, Category, Locus,
Sequence, and Details.

I would assume an English-language reader would assume left to right.
