      Description

      There's some documentation at https://github.com/lsst/afw/blob/1d3521f81d348fdc49b708342eba0be1caf5295b/doc/tablePersistence.dox which seems useful, but is basically impossible to find in Doxygen. Let's include it on the list at https://lsst-web.ncsa.illinois.edu/doxygen/x_masterDoxyDoc/afw.html.

          Jim Bosch — I found the material in this document useful the other day, so I'd like to expose it. The changes here are trivial, but it's not clear to me why it has been hidden away. Since you wrote it, I wanted to check with you for objections before proceeding.

          Awesome, I totally forgot I had written that. This will make the next time I have to explain how table persistence works to someone much easier.

          Wow, that was fast. For the record, the "basically impossible to find" documentation is in Related Pages. I actually had less trouble finding it than the afw page John Swinbank linked to, which isn't.

          Heh, navigating Doxygen is confusing. Krzysztof Findeisen is right that this is on the "related pages" tab even when you just hit the front page at https://lsst-web.ncsa.illinois.edu/doxygen/x_masterDoxyDoc/index.html. I had always assumed that was "material related to the content you're currently reading", but it doesn't seem to be.

          For what it's worth, I've added it to the afw "intro" page, which is what you get if you hit https://lsst-web.ncsa.illinois.edu/doxygen/x_masterDoxyDoc/index.html and then click on the link to afw.

          Anyway, the more places it's available the better, I guess.

          That link should be read as "documentation that is related to the software, but is not API documentation". Which, in this context, means "related to the Stack". I guess most Doxygen sites are more at the level of a single package.
