Research direction

Start with the User Guide page at https://www.fatiando.org/boule/latest/user_guide/coordinates.html and review the existing spherical-to-geodetic section for its structure and examples. Add a comparable section demonstrating ellipsoidal harmonic coordinate conversions, and consider the work complete when the page explains and shows that conversion clearly.

Page that contains the error or needs to be improved (paste link): https://www.fatiando.org/boule/latest/user_guide/coordinates.html

Description of the problem/suggestion:

The page explains how to do coordinate conversions but doesn't include the ellipsoidal harmonic coordinates. It would be great to have a section there demonstrating how it's done, similar to the spherical to geodetic section.
