I also got confused for\r\na moment after clicking on \"Getting started with SageMathCloud\" since\r\nit scrolled the page down but the header was in the middle of the page\r\nrather than top (the window was quite tall).\r\n4) I've recalled that editing modes should be available in some menu\r\nwhen editing a worksheet and indeed they are, but there is no LaTeX\r\nwhich is probably the most familiar one to math teachers (compared to\r\nHTML/Markdown)\r\n5) When I pick a mode, it inserts the appropriate decorator on a line\r\nafter the current one. Wouldn't it be more logical to insert it on the\r\ncurrent line and move the cursor so I can start typing in the new mode\r\nright away?\r\n"}}
