Quickstart and embedded documentation

After its launch, RNArtist shows you the documentation page to quickstart. It is an interactive tutorial to learn the basic use of RNArtist. You will create your first database and download your first RNA 2D. Then you will learn how to modify the theme and layout of this structure, how to save it and how to export it as an SVG file.

You just need an empty folder to start with this tutorial. And there is no need to start each time from the beginning. The tutorial provides links to launch scripts that will produce a fresh start for any step you're interested in.

You can also freely browse the documentation (choose "Table of Contents" at the top of the Quickstart page). The documentation is also interactive, with the ability to highlight the graphical widget detailed.
