Description

The explanation boxes should be shrinkable / collapsible / able to hide to a size where only the title or short explanation can be read.
This way the user could hide the things too big or already known to him.
example search:

cat foo.txt | grep "function"

the description of the pipeline takes up so much space I have to scroll down for every other information on my screen.

Research direction

Start by locating the explanation-box rendering entry point and inspect how the command pipeline descriptions are displayed. Done means each box can collapse to show its title or short explanation, expand again, and leave other information accessible for the example command.
