[Framers] OT: Punctuation question

[Tom Beiswenger]

Tammy,

I would only modify John's version to the following:

The information is displayed across five tabs (left to right): Overview, Category, Locus,
Sequence, and Details.

In my earlier life as a newspaper editor (no, I'm not as ancient as some people think), placing left to right in parentheses, was essentially the AP style for photo captions.

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.
