Annotation Browser Description Pane

The Description pane displays the message stored on the current marker. The current marker is colored magenta in the browser and haloed in the canvas. If there are multiple markers selected, the current marker and its description changes as you use the Go To The Next Selected Marker and Go To The Previous Selected Marker buttons to browse the selected set. (This works even if you select the markers in the canvas and their parent category is not expandable in the browser pane.)

Depending on the selection in the Annotation Browser, the Description pane shows:

Nothing, if multiple category nodes are selected.
The marker node description, if a selected category node has one marker child.
Description of the first marker, if a selected category node has multiple marker children and the first and the last marker nodes (in sorted order) have the same description.
HTML links and links to SKILL functions. If markers have a description field created with a reference tags. For example:
SKILL function
```
dbCreateMarker(cv "<a href=\"skill:myLinkWrapper()\"> 
```
The SKILL link will be:
</a>" "link test" list(0:0 0:2 2:2 2:0) nil t nil "warning" "marker with link")
HTML
```
dbCreateMarker(cv "<a href=\"www.cadence.com\"> 
```
The HTML link will be:
```
</a>" "html link test" list(0:0 0:2 2:2 2:0) nil t nil "warning" "marker with html link")
```
