 ==== Subtitles ====
 These are where your subtitles go. The iRacing-TV app creates and manages these files for you. Each subtitle file corresponds to a specific race, and the file name is in the format of ''[Session ID]-[Subsession ID].xml''.
+==== WebPage ====
+This is the default output location of the live telemetry web page. You would typically share this folder to a web server that would serve the files in this directory to the public Internet.

 Both of these applications can either be found in the ''Start Menu'' or on your ''Desktop'' if this option was chosen during installation.

 Because the overlay window is a special transparent window with no border or window controls on it, there is not a typical ''X'' button to close it. When you want to close the overlay window, you can do this one of two ways:

 To start the iRacing-TV controller, launch it by clicking on its icon.
-At the top right of this application window, there are two lights shown. The first light indicates the connection with iRacing. It will be red if iRacing is not running, and green if it is.

-In order to get the best experience from this application, it is recommended to run the iRacing-TV controller any time you participate in a live race in iRacing. The reason for this, is so that it can automatically record the live race session flags for you. These session flags are **not** saved in iRacing's replay file. If you do not run the controller during these live races, we will not be able to get back some important race state information, such as caution flags, during the playback of the replay file. It is ok to minimize the iRacing-TV controller window to get it out of the way during live races.
-==== Initial Fonts Setup ====
-As soon as you launch both the overlay and the controller applications, you will see something like this on top of the iRacing window.
-{{ :overlay:overlay-fonts-1.png?direct&400 |Overlay with default fonts}}
-This looks nice, however the fonts are not quite correct. Hopefully you have followed the instructions to install the two fonts that comes with this application. If you did not, go back to the beginning of this wiki page and look for the section about installing fonts.
-Once you have the fonts installed, run the overlay and controller applications, and then visit the ''Overlay'' > ''Fonts'' tab in the controller.
-{{ :controller:initial-fonts-setup.png?direct&400 |Overlay fonts settings}}
-Change ''Font A'' to be ''Revolution Gothic'' and change ''Font B'' to be ''Revolution Gothic It''. As soon as you do that, you should see the fonts change in the overlay immediately! All changes to settings are reflected in the overlay instantly, and they are also saved automatically - there is no ''Save'' button.
