Hi :)
The wikipedia page about "Modifier Tone Letters" says
"Modifier Tone Letters is a Unicode block containing tone markings for Chinese, 
Chinantec, Africanist, and other phonetic transcriptions. It does not contain 
the standard IPA tone marks, which are found in Spacing Modifier Letters."
but i still don't understand what it means.  More to the point i don't see how 
to cut it down to just a couple of words that do make sense.  


I like Alan Monfort's link for "Elements Dock", seeing it makes it easier to 
understand.

I liked Mateusz Zasuwik's explanation of "Elements dock" as meaning "Show/embed 
window with Math's elements" and having a link helped too

Khagaroth's explanation about "Purple pipe" helped a bit but i didn't 
understand what "a gradient name" was until seeing the context by following his 
path
"You can find in Draw under Format -> Page -> Background."
But it still doesn't really explain what a pipe is.  My guess is that purple 
would be on one side of the page and some other colour on the other side and 
they would somehow merge or fade into each other in the middle?  


Regards from 

Tom :)
