== Writing dataset descriptions ==
=== Canonical Views ===
If you want to set a map or data table to be on the dataset landing page, you create a corresponding "view" under one of the resources in the dataset and then click the "Canonical View" button for that view. The catch is that CKAN does not enforce that only one view may be canonical, so if multiple views have their "Canonical View" button depressed, one of them will be chosen by CKAN to be the displayed one, and you will have to unclick others in order to get the one you want to display on the dataset landing page.
 
=== Writing dataset descriptions ===
The description field supports some limited markup, which appears to be a subset of Markdown.
