…ned "friction-temperature", including definition and citation.
…r "at_surface_interface" due to existing conflicting definition of "bottom-of-atmosphere" in radiation community. Will stick with the slightly more ambiguous but overall less confusing "at_surface" as a synonym for "at_surface_interface", with appropriate definitions.
… site Splits the single StandardNamesRules.rst file verbatim into per-chapter files under docs/chapters/, adds Sphinx scaffolding (conf.py, index.rst, requirements.txt) and a top-level .readthedocs.yaml so the rules can be built and published on Read the Docs. StandardNamesRules.rst is replaced with a stub pointing to the new docs/ location, and README.md is updated to match. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- naming_rules.rst: repair a malformed grid table (missing column divider in the top border, a stray space instead of a dash in a row separator) that was merging/misrendering the control-oriented variables table; also add the missing colon on the ".. _Rules" target. - qualifiers.rst: escape trailing underscores in "surface_", "since_", "over_", and "reset_every_" so they render as plain text instead of being parsed as broken hyperlink references. - technical_specifications.rst: use "::" instead of ":" to introduce the exner_function XML snippet so it renders as a code block instead of a garbled block quote/definition list. - index.rst: lengthen the title over/underline to match the title text length. No wording changes; docs/ now builds with zero Sphinx warnings. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the three plain hyperlinks to wiki-hosted PNGs in naming_rules.rst with .. figure:: directives, so the images render inline on the page instead of requiring a click-through. Each figure gets descriptive alt text and a caption; the images continue to be served from raw.githubusercontent.com rather than being vendored into the repo.

Description
The current plain .rst document (StandardNameRules.rst) gives us some formatting capabilities over a plain .txt file, but has major limitations. A big one is the lack of embedded images, and limited linking capabilities. Sphinx-generated html documents give us these capabilities, as well as an easily-referenceable and versioned HTML build of the standard name rules, hosted on ReadTheDocs.
This PR moves the rules as-is to the docs/chapters directory, with the only changes being formatting and splitting the rules into multiple files for different chapters. The build for this branch can be found at https://esm-standard-names.readthedocs.io/en/feature-readthedocs/index.html
I also took the opportunity to fix the Metadata files to include comments.
