+- official: True if the values appear in games or official material; False if

+- markup: The format of a text column. Can be one of:
+  - plaintext: Normal Unicode text (widely used in names)
+  - markdown: Veekun's Markdown flavor (generally used in effect descriptions)
+  - gametext: Transcription of in-game text that strives to be both
+    human-readable and represent the original text exactly.
+  - identifier: A fan-made identifier in the [-_a-z0-9]* format. Not intended
+    for translation.
+  - latex: A formula in LaTeX syntax.
+- foreign: If set, the column contains foreign (non-English) text.
