This text is the same for all the issues that follow this formatting so if you read it once, you can skip this paragraph.

Building on the module descriptions that make up the documentation I have attempted to add some information to individual parameters and returns that explain the things I didn't understand at first. Most sources are just Müller Schmied et al. and a link is given in the rare cases where I consulted another source. The formatting for those is not final and done in the current way for readability here.

The list goes beyond rephrasing and attempts to explain things, so I have added the complete list for someone to vet. If everything looks good, or there are changes I should make I will make them and commit the changes afterwards.
