Hey,

just a short note that while writing help texts you should be extremely
careful with newlines and spaces. They are not stripped and result in the
final string which might be used also for extended tooltips.

So something like:

"This is a help text
that goes across two lines.  "

can cause quite some problems and looks horrible in the UI. Just write the
whole text into one line and let our code figure out how and when to break.

Regards,
Markus
