Research direction

Start with the cookbook's Options section at cookbook/options.html#option-j and compare it with the -J documentation in the GMT manpage. Document the -JEPSG:n syntax in the cookbook, keeping the explanation consistent with the existing manpage, then build or preview the documentation to verify the rendered result.

Description

documentation

GMT started to support -JEPSG:n syntax since GMT 6. However, this new feature is only explained in the gmt manpage (https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/gmt.html#the-j-option), not in the cookbook (https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/latest/cookbook/options.html#option-j).

This feature should be better documented in the cookbook.
