Way to show attributes - Githubissues

takluyver commented 6 years ago

It should be possible to see attributes both in the terminal and in HTML. To figure out:

In the terminal, this should probably be an option, e.g. --attrs, so they're not cluttering up the view of the default structure.
- Should the default view show any indication that there are attributes?
- Should viewing attrs for a file/group replace the tree view? Or still show the tree, with or without attrs for children?
In the HTML view, how to show attributes without cluttering up the tree view too much?
Should large attributes be elided somehow?

The terminal can now show attributes (a few commits around e2dcbc2e54310ac49c5229d35d8401681b2253fe)

Leaving this open to think about:

Showing attributes in the HTML view (I'm focusing on the terminal interface at the moment)
Showing the full value of long attributes. E.g. European XFEL uses some long mulitline string attributes holding XML-like snippets. There's currently no way to see more than a few characters at the start and end of these.
