       <h2>Setting Up the Indexer</h2>
       <p>In order to perform refactorings, Photran must keep track of what modules, subprograms, etc.
       are declared in every file in your project.  By default, it will do this by inspecting every
       file in your project as soon as you activate a refactoring, but this can take an annoyingly long
       time.  Instead, you can instruct Photran to update this information every time you save a file.
       To do this,</p>
       <ol>
         <li> Right-click on your project's folder in the Fortran Projects view
         <li> Click on Properties
         <li> Click on C/C++ Indexer (yes, C/C++ Indexer; we realize that's quirky)
         <li> Choose Photran Indexer from the drop-down list
         <li> Click OK
       </ol>
       <small>N.B. If you have a mixed C/C++ and Fortran project, you may not want to do this:
       Enabling the Photran Indexer will <i>disable</i> the CDT indexer, so features such as
       refactoring, Open Declaration, and content assist will no longer work in C/C++.</small>

       <h2>Setting Up Module and Include Paths</h2>
       <p>If your source code contains INCLUDE lines, or USE lines referencing modules in other files,
       Photran needs to know where to look in order to find these.  <i>It will not figure this out
       automatically.</i>  For each project in which you plan to use refactoring support,</p>
       <ol>
         <li> Right-click on your project's folder in the Fortran Projects view
         <li> Click on Properties
         <li> Click on Fortran Refactoring
         <li> List the folders in which Photran should search for INCLUDE files and modules when
              refactoring.  They will be searched in order from the first folder listed to the last.
              Subfolders are <i>not</i> searched automatically.
         <li> Click OK
       </ol>
     </div>

     <div class="homeitem3col">
       <a name="general"></a><h3>General Instructions for Using Refactorings</h3>
       <p>
       In the Fortran editor (for free-format source code), select the name of
       a variable, subprogram, etc.  Then right-click on the selected name,
       choose Refactoring from the context menu, and click
       on the name of the appropriate refactoring.
       Enter any information requested, then click Preview to see what changes it will make.
       It is important to verify that they are what you expect!  Then click OK to make the changes,
       or Cancel to avoid making any changes.
       </p>
       <p>
       Where you click on is extremely important.  Consider this program, for example.
       </p>
       <p>
       <tt>
          <small>1</small> <font color="green">! Print hello to the screen</font><br>
          <small>2</small> <font color="#800080">program</font> p<br>
          <small>3</small> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="#800080">character</font>(len=*) :: hello = <font color="blue">'hello'</font><br>
          <small>4</small> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="#800080">print</font> *, hello<br>
          <small>5</small> <font color="#800080">contains</font><br>
          <small>6</small> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="#800080">subroutine s</font><br>
          <small>7</small> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="#800080">character</font>(len=*) :: hello = <font color="blue">'This is a different hello'</font><br>
          <small>8</small> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font color="#800080">end subroutine</font><br>
          <small>9</small> <font color="#800080">end program</font><br>
       </tt>
       </p>
       <p>
       If you click on <tt>hello</tt> in the comment or the string literal (lines 1 and 3), the refactoring will not work, because
       <tt>hello</tt> is not a variable in that context; it is just a piece of text.  If you click on the <i>variable</i> <tt>hello</tt>
       in lines 3 or 4, refactoring will succeed.  Note, however, that the variable <tt>hello</tt> in line 7 is completely different.
       So if you rename the occurrence of <tt>hello</tt> on line 3 and 4, those occurrences will both change, but the <tt>hello</tt>
       variable on line 7 will remain the same.  Similarly, you can rename <tt>hello</tt> on line 7 without changing the variable on
       lines 3 and 4.
