order on the bar according to its number without displaying the number prefix.
When +strip_workspace_numbers+ is set to +yes+, any workspace that has a name of
-the form "[n]:[NAME]" will display only the name. You could use this, for
+the form "[n][:][NAME]" will display only the name. You could use this, for
instance, to display Roman numerals rather than digits by naming your
workspaces to "1:I", "2:II", "3:III", "4:IV", ...
When +strip_workspace_name+ is set to +yes+, any workspace that has a name of
-the form "[n]:[NAME]" will display only the number.
+the form "[n][:][NAME]" will display only the number.
-The default is to display the full name within the workspace button.
+The default is to display the full name within the workspace button. Be aware
+that the colon in the workspace name is optional, so `[n][NAME]` will also

+mark+:: A container with the specified mark, see <<vim_like_marks>>.
Note that swapping does not work with all containers. Most notably, swapping
-floating containers or containers that have a parent-child relationship to one
-another does not work.
+containers that have a parent-child relationship to one another does not work.

Because i3 is not a compositing window manager, there is no ability to
display a window on two screens at the same time. Instead, your presentation
software needs to do this job (that is, open a window on each screen).

+=== High-resolution displays (aka HIDPI displays)
+
+See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HiDPI for details on how to enable
+scaling in various parts of the Linux desktop. i3 will read the desired DPI from
+the `Xft.dpi` property. The property defaults to 96 DPI, so to achieve 200%
+scaling, you’d set `Xft.dpi: 192` in `~/.Xresources`.
+
+If you are a long-time i3 user who just got a new monitor, double-check that:
+
+* You are using a scalable font (starting with “pango:”) in your i3 config.
+
+* You are using a terminal emulator which supports scaling. You could
+ temporarily switch to gnome-terminal, which is known to support scaling out of
+ the box, until you figure out how to adjust the font size in your favorite
+ terminal emulator.
