[CWB] Metadata format

[Graham Ranger -- UAPV]

OK, I've found the answer... Apologies for inundating your mailboxes.
Here it is, for reference, in an old post (21 Oct 2016) by Andrew Hardie:

So basically, the underscores can be removed, and more exotic characters 
added, if required, by editing the "Category description" fields in the 
"Manage text categories" form.
Best,
Graham.
