{{Moodle 2.0}}In Moodle 2.0, help files will be converted to strings.
 
==String names==
 
Help strings names will start with the string name of the setting to which they apply, so that they are kept together in the language file.
 
* ''stringname''
* ''stringname_help''
* ''stringname_link'' (optional string naming a path in Moodle docs, calculated just like the link in the footer to go to the right language etc, and shown after the help text in the popup as a link to "More info...")
 
==Help string formatting==
 
Help string text will be short and simple - two small paragraphs maximum (150 words?) with no headings, no links, no bold, no tables etc.
 
Simple wiki syntax will be used:
 
* paragraphs - new lines
* bullet points - *
* numbered lists - #
 
==Words for roles==
 
The following words should be used in the en help strings to refer to people with particular roles:
 
* Participants - all people with a role
* Teachers - people with some sort of a facilitation/editing role
* Students - people primarily there to learn
* Users - people across the site
