Re: General
Not "broken down" in detail seems to be the best phrase grammatically.

It's "not broken down in detail"
Broken = past tense
Breaking = Present tense
Break = Future tense

Yeah it is "into." Didn't see that as the main word that he was focusing on was Broken-break.

That's wrong. There's no such thing as that statement. You have mixed past tense in with future tense.
