#### `position[<X>,<Y>]`
-* Define the position of the formspec
-* A value between 0.0 and 1.0 represents a position inside the screen
-* The default value is the center of the screen (0.5, 0.5)
+* Must be used after `size` element.
+* Defines the position on the game window of the formspec's `anchor` point.
+* For X and Y, 0.0 and 1.0 represent opposite edges of the game window, for example:
+ * [0.0, 0.0] sets the position to the top left corner of the game window.
+ * [1.0, 1.0] sets the position to the bottom right of the game window.
+* Defaults to the center of the game window [0.5, 0.5].
#### `anchor[<X>,<Y>]`
-* Define the anchor of the formspec
-* A value between 0.0 and 1.0 represents an anchor inside the formspec
-* The default value is the center of the formspec (0.5, 0.5)
