Description

When available from the source ADM, the builder should display the description.

Fields should additionally display details on type information when available and links to applicable documentation. Linked documentation may eventually include links to the raw ADM, to a user-friendly HTML-formatted version of the ADMs (doesn't currently exist), to the relevant IETF type documentation (or a reference of the relevant piece pulled into a local help DB). Note: This ticket only covers linking to currently available information, additional issues may be appropriate for auto-generating improved user-friendly help files from the ADMs.

Some of these details may be hidden in a popup triggered by mouseover or an 'info' icon.

Research direction

Start by locating the Builder UI and tracing how fields receive metadata from the source ADM. Review the available descriptions, type information, and documentation links, including raw ADM or IETF references, before deciding how inline details or an info popup should appear. Done means applicable available information is displayed without attempting to generate new help files.
