The "ST Explainer"

My original goal was to have a simple / concise definition for all taxa, starting with what I could glean from textbooks (Buol et al., Schaetzl and Anderson, etc.). The first draft can (should IMHO) specify simple (atomic) and compound formative elements, favoring longer matches ("acrudoxic" vs. "acr"). This specific example shouldn't be a problem because only the subgroup formative element dictionary will be used on the subgroup chunk of taxa text. Explanations will include a compact description of compound formative elements (mostly relevant at the subgroup).

Long-term:

• An extensible set of dictionaries that include at least 3 levels of verbosity and detail: general public, moderate soil knowledge, scientists / educators. An option or argument toggles the output.
• A more general approach to assigning meaning, possibly transcending levels of the ST hierarchy. This isn't 100% feasible because some formative element definitions are tied to their position in the hierarchy.
• A more visually concise mechanism for delivering all three (?) levels of detail. This could be in the form of HTML DIV styled by CSS, SVG, or an image. Ideas welcome.
