Hey Peter,
You're correct, currently the only top level description field for a workflow is that Annotation/Notes field. While it wouldn't have rich text, is it reasonable to programmatically generate something like what you're suggesting from the combination of the primary Annotation/Notes fields and each step Annotation (when available)?

Hello all,
I've recently started sharing some sample workflows on the Galaxy Tool Shed, http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/rxlr_venn_workflow http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/secreted_protein_workflow
When writing a Galaxy tool we have a lot of flexibility within the <help> tag to describe the tool, its output, and relevant references using some nice markup language for things like bold fonts and tables.
I would very much like something similar for embedding README or help text into a workflow - which again should be shown to the user, both on the 'View workflow action' but also under the "Run workflow" / "Execute" button when actually running a workflow.
Am I overlooking something or is the only workflow level description the plain text 'Annotation / Notes' field?
Thanks,
Peter
P.S. I'm not talking about the repository level README text which I can use for a workflow repository - that is only really seen by the Galaxy administrator (not by the users within the Galaxy web-interface) and is not specific to each workflow. ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
