Helpfile Formatting Notes
* There are, generally, two kinds of helpfiles: reference entries and policy
entries. When a reference entry (help murder) requires extensive policy
notes (help pk), move them to a separate helpfile.
* Mask despises the term "code abuse" and its variants. Please avoid using it.
I believe the proper term would be "bug exploitation," instead.
* It's OK to include an apostrophe in a help title or keyword, but then
to refer to it you need to put it in quotation marks, e.g.:
hedit new Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue
is fine, but to edit it you will need to use
hedit "Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue"
* Where possible use British rather than American English
* Justify your help text (/j) before saving - where needed, add extra lines
to prevent lists and tables from being ruined, and check (/l) the result
before saving.
* Where possible, keep each individual helpfile to under twenty lines
