Hmm.. I had a good fight with Markdown. It seemed to think that the
indentation of the config block (intending <pre>) was actually a
continuation of the unordered list above.. How lovely to not have
start-stop tags, uh..

See now at 
http://taverna.staging.apache.org/documentation/server/3.1/install#configuration-property-list
(quite a few ctrl-shift-R seems to be needed)

The Workflow State diagram I hacked together quickly using
https://www.draw.io/ as the one in the .docx was hard to get to look
good outside Word.


So this looks kind of OK, so I'll link to that in the announcement.
