NEW FEATURES: -Cursor changes to hand to indicate clickable areas -Text inside containers is word wrapped -Selected text can be DEselected (by clicking it) without collapsing a container -Displays entire opening tag in titletip when mouse hovers over container. This enables view of opening tag/attributes from any hot area of a container. This is especially useful when navigating a deeply nested page structure.

Scroll Into View Collapsibility:
If a container is collapsed from its bottom or side (the container top is out of view), the document is scrolled up and positioned just above the top of the newly collapsed container, enabling you to keep your place.
To Open Source Charts in a new Tab:
