  <!-- Made by marja on 2012 04 01, using barjac's text -->

  <!-- NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED! -->

  <!-- SimonNZG 2012-04-03 has had a look -->

  <!-- removed para id's, corrected duplicate id's for segments, corrected wrong
       code in figure, marja, 20120409 -->

  <!-- barjac 2012-04-11 - removed image figure tag - and once again had to clean
       up mess made of this header by xxe -->

  <!--2018/09/02 apb: Text and typography. Classical/Live Conditions not respected in HTML or PDF output.-->

  <!--2018/02/17 apb: Changed 'preferred language' Warning tag to Important-->

  <!--2018/02/19 apb: Updated dx2-selectLanguage.png to Mga6.-->

  <!--2018/02/20 apb: Slight reword of 'Choosing more than one language'-->

  <!--2018/02/27 apb: Changed first 3 paras to Itemizedlist-->

  <!--2018/03/11 apb: Test to see if placing condition within listitem - rather than within para - will fix seeing both conditions together in output.-->
