Introduction to studies

Studies that feature a couple of model games/positions for a certain topic would be much easier to grasp if they had an introduction text that explains what the following is about. Unfortunately there is no possibility to create one and put it at the beginning of the study. Would you guys consider adding a feature like this?
You can name the studies with the general studies' description , check mine for example. Plus you can annotate the initial position of each chapter if needed.

What i would like to see if possible is that the comments would keep the format you.
For example if you go to my endgame studies and go to Rook vs Pawn #2 you could see that i've made an introduction to the study but since the format is not easily readable (broken to paragraphs etc its not easily readable)
I checked yours. Take the Tal games or the endgame studies for example. Wouldnt it be nice to see a little text at the very beginning: "Enjoy my collection of Tal games with his greatest sacrifices etc." or more instructive like "These studies deal with the topic of opposition, beginning with very basic positions and then somewhat more difficult the deeper you delve into this study.". That is what i would like to do for my studies, especially since the study title is limited in length.
Well if you take my endgame studies for example, they do get more difficult as you progress through them. On the other hand i do get your point, you want it more friendly for the person that joins your studies. I would try to verbose on the comments on the initial position & try to keep things tidy with chapter names. You can also place certain chapters above or below another if you see fitted (to show the increasing difficult,no?).
Yes, that is my point. Make the study as accessible and user friendly as possible. You are right, there are plenty of workarounds, and we can agree that this is not a major issue. I do think it would be nice to have, though ;)
