Symbols are designed to be used by a chain of different
tools, the Symbol Editor, the Dashboard Editor, the Designer
and a variety of custom applications. The Symbol Editor reporting
feature allows you to generate documentation from the palettes currently
open in the Symbol Editor. The symbol report is generated in
HTML format; it can be viewed either in the Symbol Editor, or,
when a report is exported, in a standard Web browser.
The symbol report is based on the descriptions you wrote
about the symbols and their parameters when they were created.
