[jira] [Created] (AIRFLOW-1585) Documentation (e.g. doc_md) for tasks should be displayed more prominently

Max Grender-Jones created AIRFLOW-1585:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: Documentation (e.g. doc_md) for tasks should be displayed more prominently 
                 Key: AIRFLOW-1585
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-1585
             Project: Apache Airflow
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: ui
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Max Grender-Jones


We have a web of complex tasks. I love that when I set `dag_md` on an entire DAG it is visible very prominently on the Graph View. However, the same cannot be said of `dag_md` set on individual tasks (until now I've never even had a use for the `Task Details` tab, even there it's not very prominently presented).

My wishlist of where it would be displayed:

 - In the mouseover (although if there's a long description, perhaps that would be too much for here)
 - In the popup that you see when you click on a task (My favourite)
 - At the top of *all* the tabs for that task, displayed in a prominent break-out fashion (as with the DAG), as opposed to buried in the 'attributes' section
