-<h3>Philosophy<h3>
+<h2>Philosophy</h2>
 <p>
 There are no "best" ways to map an arbitrary MIDI controller for
 controlling Ardour. There may be very legitimate reasons for different
-users to prefer quite different mappings. So, Ardour does not come
-with any pre-defined mapping - we believe that users know what is best
-for them.
+users to prefer quite different mappings. 
 </p>
 <p>
-On every platform that Ardour runs on, there are excellent free-of-charge tools for making connections between MIDI hardware and "virtual" MIDI ports like the ones that Ardour creates and uses. Rather than waste precious developer time replicating these connection/patch managers, we prefer to leverage their existence by having users rely on them to actually connect Ardour to other MIDI devices and software. On OS X, we recommend Pete Yandell's MIDI Patchbay. On Linux, a wide variety of tools are available including QJackctl, aconnect, Patchage, and more. So, you will not find a MIDI connection dialog in Ardour 2.X.

   <li>A small window appears that says "Operate Controller now"</li>
   <li>Move the hardware knob or fader, or press the note/key.</li>
   <li>The binding is complete. Moving the hardware should control the Ardour fader etc. </li>

 If you want the bindings you set up to be used automatically in every
-session, the simplest thing to do is to use Session -> Save
-Template. Then, when creating new sessions, select that template and
+session, the simplest thing to do is to use <kbd class="menu">Session &gt; Save
+Template</kbd>. Then, when creating new sessions, select that template and
 all the bindings will be automatically set up for you. You can also
 save a specific track/bus configuration as a template, and use that
 when adding new tracks or busses. Click on the track name at the top
-of a mixer strip and select "Save as Template".
