Expand description
The Documentation view: what a catalog says of one dataset, and what the format spec that reads a file says of it, as a page to read.
Ctrl+E on a home row opens it full screen; the Info panel’s Documentation tab
draws the same page for the open dataset. A catalog’s word comes first: its
description, its links, and a column’s description, unit and legend each stand over
the spec’s. Fields are label value lines, each link is a line of its own that is
cut with … rather than wrapped (y copies it whole), and a column’s value legend
opens under it with Enter.
