<p>The library window makes loading elements (or even partial layouts) easy.
30
Just click the appropriate library from the list on the left. A list
31
of its elements then appears on the right. Select an element
32
from the list by clicking on its description. Selecting an element from the
33
library will also automatically copy the element into
34
the active buffer, then invoke the <em>Buffer</em> tool so
35
you can paste it to the layout. Elements in the old library should be
36
taken with a grain of salt (<em>i.e.</em> check them carefully before
37
using). The old library names all begin with ~ so you can easily distinguish between
38
the old and new libraries. All of the elements in the new library
39
should be thoroughly vetted, so you
40
can use them with confidence. The new libraries are stored simply
41
as directories full of element files, so making additions to the
42
new library is easy since there is no need to learn <code>m4</code>.
43
For details on the old libraries,
44
check-out <a href="Library-File.html#Library%20File">Library File</a> and <a href="Library-Contents-File.html#Library%20Contents%20File">Library Contents File</a>. For
45
details on the format of an element file used for the new libraries,
46
see <a href="Element-File.html#Element%20File">Element File</a>.
