 The importance is shown as an icon next to the item, and determines the item's
 importance relative to others. Themes may use this information to present the items
 differently, depending on their importance. To change the importance, click on the
 icon and a drop down menu will appear. The possible settings are:
 </span>
 <ul>
 <li><span style="font-weight: 400"><b>low</b> - The item will not be emphasized.</span></li>
 <li><span style="font-weight: 400"><b>medium</b> - The item will be given some emphasis.</span></li>
 <li><span style="font-weight: 400"><b>high</b> - The item will be strongly emphasized.</span></li>
 <li><span style="font-weight: 400"><b>new</b> - The item is new and will be presented as such.</span></li>
 <li><span style="font-weight: 400"><b>callout</b> - The item is of a different nature, or is special in some way (e.g. a video/animation)</span></li>
 </ul>

 </TABLE>

 <p>
 For each page, there are four quadrants in which to place items; two for each column.
 The quadrants will be separated in the presentation, and are used to classify
 distinct groups of items that should be kept separate from each other. If you do not
 want to separate items into four quadrants and only have columns, place all items
 in the top two quadrants.
