On the following figure, you can use a typical use
of afb-daemon:
-<a id="binder-fig-basis"><h4>Figure: binder afb-daemon, basis</h4></a>
+<h4><a id="binder-fig-basis">Figure: binder afb-daemon, basis</a></h4>
![binder-basis][binder-basis]
2. It acts as an HTTP server for serving files to HTML5 applications;
3. It allows HTML5 applications to have native extensions subject
-to security enforcement for accessing hardware ressources or
+to security enforcement for accessing hardware resources or
for speeding parts of algorithm.
Use cases of the binder afb-daemon
So the [figure binder, basis](#binder-fig-basis) would become
when the application is run remotely:
-<a id="binder-fig-remote"><h4>Figure: binder afb-daemon and remotely running application</h4></a>
+<h4><a id="binder-fig-remote">Figure: binder afb-daemon and remotely running application</a></h4>
### Adding native features to HTML5/QML applications
In that case, the figure showing the whole aspects is
-<a id="binder-fig-remote"><h4>Figure: binder afb-daemon for services</h4></a>
+<h4><a id="binder-fig-remote">Figure: binder afb-daemon for services</a></h4>
