-    \title Qt for BlackBerry 10
-    \brief Provides information about BlackBerry support in Qt.
-
-    Qt for BlackBerry allows to run Qt 5 applications on devices with BlackBerry
-    10 or later. BlackBerry 10 uses QNX as base OS, so Qt on BlackBerry 10 and Qt
-    on QNX share the same code base.
-
-    Development of Qt applications for the BlackBerry 10 platform is possible using
-    the BlackBerry Native Development Kit. It contains the Momentics IDE along with
-    a cross compiler toolchain and packaging and deployment tools.
-    After setup you can opt for development with Qt Creator, command line tools or the
-    Momentics IDE.
-
-    The following topics provide more details about how to use Qt for BlackBerry:

-    \page blackberrygs.html
-    \title Getting Started with Qt for BlackBerry 10
-    \brief Provides instructions to install and configure your development environment.
-
-    \section1 Development with Qt for BlackBerry 10
-    Development of Qt applications for the BlackBerry 10 platform is possible using the
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/}{BlackBerry Native Development Kit}.
-    First versions of NDK contained both, the Momentics IDE as well as the NDK itself.
-    In recent releases, developers have to download the
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/downloads/}{Momentics IDE}
-    first, which then installs the NDK and simulator packages. Every NDK package includes
-    a cross compiler toolchain, plus packaging and deployment tools, basically all you
-    need for development.
-
-    \section1 Initial Preparation
-    \section2 Get a BlackBerry ID
-
-    The BlackBerry ID is used as an identity reference and is necessary to register as a
-    developer and use the device in developer mode. You can
-    \l{https://blackberryid.blackberry.com}{create a BlackBerry ID online}.
-    If you already use a BlackBerry device, you should have a BlackBerry ID, as well. It is
-    the same ID used in BBM or to download apps from BlackBerry World. If you have such
-    an ID you can use it to get a BlackBerry ID token for development.
-
-    \section2 Get the Momentics IDE
-
-    First
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/downloads/}{download the Momentics IDE},
-    set it up and download an NDK with appropriate API level, see this
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/getting_started/setting_up.html}
-      {article}
-    for more details.
-
-    \section1 Setup
-
-    \section2 Enable the Development Mode on the Device
-    Make sure your device is connected to your computer.
-    Switch on \b{Development Mode} in \e{Settings -> Security and Privacy ->
-    Development Mode}.
-
-    \section2 Install Momentics
-
-    Install the Momentics IDE by executing
-    \badcode
-     cd ~/Downloads/
-     chmod +x momentics-<your-version>.bin
-     ./momentics-<your-version>.bin
-    \endcode
-
-    Install the suggested API level. Other API levels can be added
-    \l{http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/core/com.qnx.doc.ide.userguide/topic/update_ndk_ide.html}
-      {later}.
-    Select \e{Manage Devices} from the \e{Devices} drop-down menu. Create and Download the
-    BlackBerry ID token needed for deployment and testing. Enter your company name and choose a
-    password. Log in with your Black Berry ID and password in the pop-up window. Click \e{Next}
-    and \e{Finish} to generate a debug token and deploy it to your device.
-
-    Qt Creator 3.0 and later support the BlackBerry ID token and debug token management as well.
-
-    \section1 Verify Your Setup with a Sample App
-    \section2 In the Momentics IDE
-    Select a sample application in the Momentics IDE and click Download and Import. This will
-    download the sample and create a new project. Hit the green play button in Momentics to
-    run the application on your BlackBerry 10 device. The application will now start on your
-    BlackBerry 10 device.
-
-    \section2 In Qt Creator
-    See the
-    \l{http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Creator_with_BlackBerry_10}{article}
-    Qt Creator with BlackBerry 10. Qt Creator 2.7 and later contain a plug-in which integrates
-    the BlackBerry 10 NDK and its tools into the development process as it is know to Qt
-    Creator users.
-
-    \section1 Simulator
-    You can download the Simulator from the Momentics IDE via the \gui{Devices} menu. Select
-    \gui{Manage devices} from the main toolbar in Momentics and switch to the Simulator tab.
-    The Simulator is available as separate download. For more details, see the this
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/devzone/develop/simulator/}{article}
-    on the developer page. Installing the Simulator is optional. You most probably will test
-    and deploy applications on a BlackBerry 10 device directly, but sometimes using the Simulator
-    is more convenient. It also allows testing of your app on a configuration of a device which
-    you do not have.
-
-    If you work on the command line and use Qt 5.2 or later you have change the CPUVARDIR
-    environment variable to switch to Simulator as target:
-    \badcode
-    export CPUVARDIR=x86
-    \endcode
-
-    Going back to the device target:
-    \badcode
-    export CPUVARDIR=armle-v7
-    \endcode
-
-    Certainly you have to re-run qmake each time you change CPUVARDIR.
-
-    Note: You need to have VMware Player installed on your machine to run BlackBerry 10 Simulator.

-    \page blackberryqt5.html
-    \title Qt 5 on BlackBerry 10
-    \brief Provides instructions how to use Qt 5 on BlackBerry.
-
-    Currently, Qt 5 is neither included in the BlackBerry 10 device software nor in the
-    BlackBerry 10 SDK. Nevertheless, Qt 5 on BlackBerry 10 can be used for developing
-    and publishing applications to BlackBerry World.
-
-    There are currently two options how you can use Qt 5 on BlackBerry 10:
-    \list
-     \li Use a binary overlay to add Qt 5 to an NDK installation
-     \li Make and use a custom Qt 5 build
-    \endlist
-
-    See sections below for more details.
-
-    \section1 Using a Binary Overlay to Add Qt 5 to an NDK Installation
-    Pre-built Qt 5 for BlackBerry is provided as a Qt Project delivery. The packages are available
-    \l{http://qtlab.blackberry.com/downloads/ndk_10.2.0_overlay/qt521_20140317/}
-      {here}.
-    The overlay gives you a prebuilt and tested package and saves the time for building
-    Qt 5 from scratch.
-
-    Please go through the README to learn how to install and use the packages. The provided
-    packages require the 10.2 Gold version of the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK. After the
-    installation, Qt 5 is automatically recognized and configured in Qt Creator 3.0 (and later)
-    and can be immediately used for application development.
-    Even though you do not need an own build, you still need to pay attention to a few details
-    described on this page.
-
-    Note: The overlay packages are not a part of the official NDK distributions by BlackBerry,
-    but as an add-on provided by the Qt Project. Be aware that you cannot mix Qt 5 code with
-    Cascades application framework APIs based on Qt 4.8. The Momentics IDE currently does not
-    support Qt 5 development.
-
-    \section1 Make Custom Qt 5 Builds
-
-    \list
-     \li Please make sure your working environment is set up:
-         \l{Getting Started with Qt for BlackBerry 10}{Setup for BlackBerry 10 development}
-     \li Build Qt 5 for BlackBerry 10: \l{Building Qt 5 for Blackberry 10}
-    \endlist
-*/
-
-/*!
-    \page blackberrybuild.html
-    \title Building Qt 5 for BlackBerry 10
-    \brief Provides instructions how to build Qt 5 for BlackBerry.
-
-    \section1 Setting up the Environment
-
-    See \l{Getting Started with Qt for BlackBerry 10}{Setup for BlackBerry 10 development}
-    for the introduction and further instructions.
-
-    \section1 Getting the Source
-
-    The approach we will take is to do an in-source build of the Qt 5 repositories that are
-    needed but to install them to a custom directory (\e{$HOME/development/qnx/qt5} in the
-    following example). Please also note that we clone and build git submodules separately.
-    This procedure is different to the builds for desktop platforms and allows to include
-    only those submodules which are relevant. Please adjust the paths to suit your setup as
-    needed.
-
-    First create a directory to hold the source code:
-    \badcode
-        cd $HOME/development
-        mkdir qt5
-        cd qt5
-    \endcode
-
-    The following repositories are used in regular builds for BlackBerry 10 in
-    \l{http://qtlab.blackberry.com/}{BlackBerry’s public CI}:
-    \list
-        \li qtbase
-        \li qtxmlpatterns
-        \li qtsensors
-        \li qtdeclarative
-        \li qtmultimedia
-        \li qtgraphicaleffects
-        \li qtconnectivity
-        \li qtquickcontrols
-    \endlist
-
-    This matches all essential modules, plus several add-on modules. QtWebKit is currently not
-    a part of the regular builds. Still, it is possible to build it, see
-    \l{http://wiki.qt.io/Building_QtWebKit_for_Blackberry}
-      {Building QtWebKit for Blackberry}
-
-    Other repositories known to build:
-    \list
-        \li qt3d (optional, provides 3D scenes using QML)
-        \li qtscript (optional, only needed when using the qtquick1 submodule)
-        \li qtlocation
-    \endlist
-
-    Then clone:
-    \badcode
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtbase.git
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtxmlpatterns.git
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtsensors.git
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtdeclarative.git
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtmultimedia.git
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtgraphicaleffects.git
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtconnectivity.git
-        git clone git://gitorious.org/qt/qtquickcontrols.git
-    \endcode
-
-    \section1 Building qtbase
-
-    The process of building Qt 5 for BlackBerry devices is very similar to building it for any
-    other platform so it is worth having a quick read through the generic instructions for
-    building Qt 5 before proceeding.
-
-    Be sure that you have configured your environment to use the BlackBerry 10 NDK
-    (source the bbndk script on Linux for instance). This especially concerns setting
-    the right values in $PATH to pickup tools and the cross-compile tool-chain
-    provided in the NDK.
-
-    \section2 Linux and OS X
-
-    First we need to configure Qt.
-
-    The examples below show a minimal set of configure options. You can see the full set of
-    configure options used in the \l{http://qtlab.blackberry.com/}{BlackBerry’s public CI}
-    in the raw console output of the \c qtbase build.
-    See this \l{http://qtlab.blackberry.com/job/qt-5-qtbase-stable/}{link} and then open the
-    raw \e{Console Output} for the last successful build for ARM or for x86.
-    \badcode
-        cd qtbase
-        ./configure -prefix $HOME/development/qnx/qt5 -xplatform blackberry-armle-v7-qcc -opengl es2 -nomake examples -nomake tests  -opensource -confirm-license -release
-    \endcode
-
-    Afterwards we simply build it by calling make and make install.
-    \badcode
-        make -j<N>
-        make install
-    \endcode
-
-    where \c{<N>} is the number of parallel make jobs to run. This is often set to \c{<No. of CPU cores + 1>}.
-
-    \section2 Windows
-    \badcode
-        C:\dev> cd qtbase
-        C:\dev\qtbase> configure -prefix C:\dev\qt5install -xplatform blackberry-armle-v7-qcc -opengl es2 -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -confirm-license -release
-    \endcode
-
-    If you want to work with the HTTPS protocol, add the \c{-openssl} option.
-
-    \section2 OS X
-
-    This is almost the same as on Linux:
-    \badcode
-        $ cd qtbase
-        $ ./configure -prefix $HOME/development/qnx/qt5 -xplatform blackberry-armle-v7-qcc -opengl es2 -nomake examples  -nomake tests  -opensource -confirm-license -release -no-neon
-    \endcode
-
-    After this process, you should have a basic Qt 5 installation located in \c{$HOME/development/qnx/qt5}
-    or in \c{C:\dev\qt5install}, depending on your operating system.
-
-    You may now either move on to building your applications or continue here to install
-    some additional git submodules to gain access to additional features of Qt 5.
-
-    \section1 Building Other Modules
-
-    If you want to build additional git submodules, make sure to do this in the right order,
-    because some git submodules depend on each other.
-
-    To build additional git submodules we need to use the qmake from our new Qt 5 installation
-    so we adjust the PATH environment variable accordingly:
-
-    \b{Linux and OS X}: \c{export PATH=$HOME/development/qnx/qt5/bin:$PATH}
-
-    \b Windows: \c{C:\dev> set PATH=C:\dev\qt5install\bin;%PATH%}
-
-    Now for each of the additional git submodules that you wish to build, do the following:
-
-    \section2 Linux and OS X
-    \badcode
-        cd <sub_module_name>
-        qmake
-        make -j<N>
-        make install
-    \endcode
-
-    \section2 Windows
-    \badcode
-        C:\dev> cd <sub_module_name>
-        C:\dev\submodule> qmake
-        C:\dev\submodule> mingw32-make -j
-        C:\dev\submodule> mingw32-make -j install
-    \endcode

-    \page blackberryappdeploy.html
-    \title Deployment on BlackBerry 10
-    \brief Provides instructions how and deploy applications on BlackBerry.
-
-    Generally, this topic is well explained in the BlackBerry 10 documentation for native
-    application development.
-
-    \section1 Application Packaging
-    The page
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/core/qt_package_deploy.html}
-    {Packaging, deployment and distribution}
-    is a good introduction to the tools and how to use them. In short, applications are packaged
-    in so called BAR files which are zip archives that contain additional meta-information.
-
-    \section1 Blackberry Application aRchive (BAR) Descriptor File
-    A part of this meta information is the content of the
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/core/com.qnx.doc.native_sdk.devguide/topic/c_about_bar_app_descriptor_file.html}
-    {BAR application descriptor file}
-    which is an XML file. This file describes the content of the package and where this content
-    can be found. Other important meta-information is defined in this file, as well.
-
-    Qt Creator has an editor for the BAR application descriptor files which simplifies quite
-    some manual editing.
-
-    The content of the package may also include images, sounds and any other data files used by
-    the application in addition the the binary.
-
-    See
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/core/com.qnx.doc.native_sdk.devguide/topic/r_blackberry_tablet_dtd_intro.html}
-      {full list of all elements in a BAR application descriptor file}
-
-    \section1 blackberry-nativepackager
-    Application packages are created by the command line tool \b{blackberry-nativepackager}
-    provided in the BlackBerry 10 NDK. This tool reads a BAR application descriptor file passed
-    as an argument and builds the application package accordingly.
-
-    Application packages can be built in development mode or can be built as signed packages.
-    Development mode applications require a \b{debug token} and can be installed and run on any
-    device with the same debug token as they were build with.
-
-    Signed packaged are usually used for publishing in BlackBerry World. They can also be
-    installed from the command line on any device in development mode and do not need a debug
-    token.
-
-    \section1 Where do the App Resources Land on the Device
-
-    \section2 Handling the Sand Box
-    Each application is installed in its own home folder on a dedicated partition. Shared folders
-    (those which contain data to be shared between apps) are mapped according to permissions
-    requested so that the app can access them under the standard paths. An important thing to
-    keep in mind is that all applications can access files only within the boundaries of
-    their \e sandboxes. When the app asks to access shared data, according folders become
-    available in app’s sandbox as well. See
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/device_platform/data_access/file_system.html}
-      {Working with the file system}
-    for an overview of all sub-folders for different purposes in app’s home folder.
-
-    Applications cannot directly access any files outside their sandboxes. Even though it is
-    possible to package and deploy libraries with the application, it is not possible to deploy
-    any libraries into the system folders. Applications cannot share their libraries with other
-    applications either.
-
-    \section2 Packaging and Accessing the Files
-    Even though the article
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/device_platform/data_access/file_system.html}
-      {Working with the file system}
-    explains how the sandbox model influences file access, it might not be clear from the
-    beginning how paths can actually be referred in the application code.
-
-    This line is the universal way to add any other content to the app package:
-    \badcode
-    <asset path="<local_path_to_files>/<local_file_name>"><on_device_path_to_files>/<on_device_file_name></asset>
-    \endcode
-
-    or even shorter:
-    \badcode
-    <asset path="<SOURCE>"><TARGET></asset>
-    \endcode
-
-    Lets assume you have an app which loads an image with Qt Quick . The application code is
-    located in the subfolder \e test_assets in your \e projects folder. The following line
-    adds this image to the BAR application descriptor file:
-    \badcode
-    <asset path="/Users/johndoe/projects/test_assets/qt-logo.png">qt-logo.png</asset>
-    \endcode
-
-    You also have to add QML files:
-    \badcode
-    <asset path="/Users/johndoe/projects/test_assets/qml">qml</asset>
-    \endcode
-
-    Note that we used absolute paths in the above examples, though relative paths
-    work, as well.
-
-    The key thing to know here is that the app installation folder is mapped to the folder
-    \e app/native in the application working directory (referred by QDir::currentPath(),
-    for example a \c . folder in the BAR application descriptor file maps to the \e{app/native/}.
-    folder. Our app would be installed for example in:
-    \badcode
-    /accounts/1000/appdata/com.example.test_assets.testDev_test_assetscd80795f
-    \endcode
-
-    The \e qt-logo.png lands here:
-    \badcode
-    /accounts/1000/appdata/com.example.test_assets.testDev_test_assetscd80795f/app/native/qt-logo.png
-    \endcode
-
-    The \e qml folder will be recursively copied to
-    \badcode
-    /accounts/1000/appdata/com.example.test_assets.testDev_test_assetscd80795f/app/native/qml/
-    \endcode
-
-    Our app has only one QML file which lands here:
-    \badcode
-    /accounts/1000/appdata/com.example.test_assets.testDev_test_assetscd80795f/app/native/qml/main.qml
-    \endcode
-
-    This QML code loads the image in \e main.qml as:
-    \code
-    Image {
-        source: "../qt-logo.png"
-        anchors.centerIn: parent
-    }
-    \endcode
-
-    Notice the \c ../ in the front of the file name. This is because the current folder of a Qt
-    Quick element is where its file was loaded from. We load \e main.qml this way:
-    \code
-    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
-    {
-        QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
-        QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
-        engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("app/native/qml/main.qml")));
-        return app.exec();
-    }
-    \endcode
-
-    \c Image assumes it is located in \c{app/native/qml/} and so needs to get one level up to get
-    to \c app/native/qt-logo.png.
-
-    One more thing to notice: the article
-    \l{https://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/device_platform/data_access/file_system.html}
-      {Working with the file system}
-    also talks about a dedicated \e{assets directory}. This is a bit confusing, since the \e asset
-    XML element in the BAR application descriptor file can refer to any file, but the
-    \e assets directory refers to the asset URI scheme in the Cascades framework.
-    Using Cascades UI components you can load image as:
-    \code
-    ImageView {
-        imageSource: "asset:///image.png"
-    }
-    \endcode
-
-    \section2 Prefer Using the Qt Resources
-    Using Qt resources (via the \c{qrc://} scheme) for all small read-only files and especially
-    for QML code files is a more preferred and convenient way! Accessing assets as files makes
-    only sense for large read-only files or files which will be changed/created by the app.
-
-    \section2 Viewing the Folders on the Device
-    In some cases, it might be needed to inspect the actual content of the folders directly on
-    the device. You can do this in an SSH shell in the File Inspector in the Momentics IDE.
-    The article
-    \l{http://wiki.qt.io/BlackBerry_Hints_n_Tips}{BlackBerry Hints and Tips}
-    shows how to use SSH with BlackBerry 10 along with
-    a few other hints and tips.

-    \page platform-notes-blackberry.html
-    \title Platform and Compiler Notes - BlackBerry
-    \contentspage Platform and Compiler Notes
-
-    This page lists features and restrictions that are particular for Qt on BlackBerry 10.
-
-    \section1 Supported Modules
-
-    Most Qt modules (essential and add-on) are supported except for instance Qt WebKit and
-    platform-specific ones. \l{BlackBerry supported modules} shows a detailed list of what
-    is supported and what isn't.
-
-    \section1 Application Window
-
-    The first top-level window that is shown will always be full screen. This parent-less
-    window serves as the application window, all other windows descend from it, even
-    if they don't have a parent from Qt's perspective. It is not possible to re-parent this
-    window to another window and when it is deleted any other window will vanish, as well.
-
-    In general, it is not possible to promote child windows to top level windows
-    (\l{QWindow::}{setParent()} with an argument of \c 0). If you do so, the window will
-    vanish along with its child windows.
-
-    \section1 Working Directory
-
-    Applications are restricted to their working directory (aka \e sandbox), they cannot
-    read or write outside this directory. Nevertheless absolute file paths are visible,
-    for instance calling QDir::currentPath() will initially yield
-    \c{/accounts/1000/appdata/namespace.application/}. This is the root directory an
-    application is confined to. A more detaild overview how to work with the file system
-    can be found in the corresponding
-    \l{Working with the file system}{BlackBerry 10 documentation}.
-
-    \section1 Application Lifecycle
-
-    A detailed overview of the states an application can move through can be found
-    \l{BlackBerry 10 application lifecycle}{here}.
-    Most of the transitions are mapped to Qt signals and events. For instance, if the
-    application is minimized a QGuiApplication::applicationStateChanged signal is emitted
-    with an argument of \c Qt::ApplicationInactive and a QExposeEvent is sent to the application
-    window. In the cases where this is not sufficient, a native event filter can
-    be use, that listens for navigator events. The navigator on the BlackBerry 10 OS
-    handles the entire application window lifecycle.
-
-    \section1 Peculiarities
-
-    This is a list of topics specific to Blackberry 10 which are discussed in their
-    own sections:
-
-    \list
-        \li \l{QAbstractNativeEventFilter::nativeEventFilter()}{Native events}
-        \li \l{Platform Limitations}{QSettings}
-        \li \l{Blackberry Peculiarities}{Cover windows}
-    \endlist
-
-    \section1 Multimedia
-    Restrictions that apply to Qt Multimedia on BlackBerry are described
-    \l{Qt Multimedia on BlackBerry}{here}.
-
-    \section1 Sensors
-
-    Most sensors are supported on BlackBerry (such as accelerometer, compass, magnetometer,
-    gyroscope, (IR) proximity, (ambient) light, orientation, rotation and holster sensors).
-    However, different devices might support a different set of sensors.
-    \l{ QSensor::sensorTypes()} will return a list of sensors that are supported on a
-    particular device.
-
-    \section1 Relationship to Cascades
-
-    Cascades is the prevailing UI framework for BlackBerry 10 development. It uses Qt (4.8)
-    C++ and QML as a base to provide a standard set of UI controls and other APIs tailored to
-    the BlackBerry 10 platform. If you are curious, take a look at the
-    \l{http://developer.blackberry.com/native/documentation/cascades/getting_started/intro/index.html}
-    {Introduction to Cascades} article.
-    Note that Cascades uses its own backend to render on the screen and uses only non-UI
-    parts of Qt. It is not possible to mix Qt and Cascades APIs to access the screen in
-    one application.
-
-    \section1 Qt Widgets Style
-
-    If the UI of your application is based on \l[QtWidgets]{Qt Widgets}, you should consider
-    using the BlackBerry 10 specific Qt widget style. This style matches the system-wide UI
-    appearance and improves usability. The BlackBerry 10 style is implemented as proxy style
-    in C++ and is loaded as a style plug-in on demand. The style is available only on Qt
-    builds for BlackBerry 10 and is not available in builds for other platforms.
-
-    There are two variants of the style fitting the dark and bright themes on the
-    BlackBerry 10.1.x and 10.2.x releases:
-
-    \table 50%
-    \header
-        \li Style key \c{bb10bright}
-        \li Style key \c{bb10dark}
-    \row
-        \li \image bb10bright-style.png
-        \li \image bb10dark-style.png
-    \endtable
-
-
-    You can activate one of the styles with \l{ QApplication::setStyle() }, e.g.
-
-    \code
-    QApplication::setStyle(QStringLiteral("bb10dark"));
-    \endcode
-
-    The BlackBerry 10 style only covers those \l[QtWidgets]{Qt Widgets} which fit well on
-    small screens and can be controlled with touch input in a comfortable way:
-
-    \list
-        \li \l{QCheckBox}
-        \li \l{QComboBox}
-        \li \l{QLineEdit}
-        \li \l{QPushButton}
-        \li \l{QProgressBar}
-        \li \l{QRadioButton}
-        \li \l{QSlider}
-        \li \l{QScrollBar}
-        \li \l{QTextEdit}
-        \li item view widgets
-    \endlist
-
-    Consider using \l{Qt Quick} for more complex UIs.
-
-    \section1 References
