[HLASM] Improved online help for the assembler macro language #627

Description

Description of the enhancement requested

Hi,

The IBM Assembler source code editor (HLSAM) provides help on language instructions: it displays a pop-up window containing the instruction's plain-text description, format, hexadecimal code, and usage context.
This information seems to correspond to what can be found on this webpage: Table of all supported instructions.

Regarding the HLASM macro language, the information is much more limited and, in fact, offers no help at all.
We would like to have the same level of detail for the macro language instructions as for the instructions of the language itself.

I do not know if there is a table summarizing all the macro language instructions, like the one that exists for the language's instructions.
The information seems to be scattered across several web pages:

Thanks.
