+u"""The Pokédex schema
+
+Columns have a info dictionary with these keys:
+- description: The description of the column
+- official: True if the values appear in games or official material; False if
+  they are fan-created or fan-written. This flag is currently only set for
+  official text columns.
+- 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.
+
+A localizable text column is visible as two properties:
+The plural-name property (e.g. Pokemon.names) is a language-to-name dictionary:
+  bulbasaur.names['en'] == "Bulbasaur" and bulbasaur.names['de'] == "Bisasam".
+  You can use Pokemon.names['en'] to filter a query.
+The singular-name property returns the name in the default language, English.
+  For example bulbasaur.name == "Bulbasaur"
+  Setting pokedex.db.tables.default_lang changes the default language.
