The screenshot shows the document viewer used to display a document and its annotations. In pink are <A>{{tag|a|o}} hyperlink annotations from an [[Hypertext Markup Language|HTML]] file. The right list is the annotation sets list, and the bottom table is the annotation list. In the center is the annotation editor window.
