They will be displayed where the `position' column information
indicates. For example, `rt' means `right top' position, `tp' means
`title prologue' position, `te' means `title epilogue' position, etc.
If you need to place descriptions elsewhere, we can introduce a new
`xx' type of position.
Of course, this does not prevent us from introducing a `description'
column in the collection table. But we would have to come up with a
configurable machinery to decide where these descriptions should be
displayed and how, which is kind of what the portalbox concept is here
for.
P.S. There is also `collectionname.type' machinery that can provide
alternative names for collections, depending on the usage context.
For example, `ln' means `long name' of the given collection.
