    (// Introduction
     'Welcome to <b>TJvLinkLabel!</b> Have you ever wanted to include ' +
     'formatted text and links that flow with the rest of the text in your ' +
     'applications? TJvLinkLabel is a fast, light-weight replacement for ' +
     'Delphi''s TLabel, that handles all this. In fact, the text you''re ' +
     'reading right now, is displayed by the TJvLinkLabel.' +
     '<p>' +
     'TJvLinkLabel is licensed under the <link>MPL</link> license, which ' +
     'basically means that if you alter the component and distribute an ' +
     'application incorporating it, you must make your changes to the ' +
     'component public. Note, though, that this doesn''t affect your ' +
     'application. Thus, you can safely use TJvLinkLabel in applications ' +
     'whose source code you want to remain private.' +
     '<p>' +
     'Have you seen the source code of a HTML document? This component uses ' +
     'the same technique to format text. <link>Read on</link> to find out ' +
     'more!',
     // Formatting text
     'We''ll start off with an example:' +
     '<p>' +
     'This text is <b>&lt;b&gt;</b>bold, and <b>&lt;i&gt;</b>italic' +
     '<b>&lt;/i&gt;</b>, and includes<b>&lt;/b&gt;</b> a <b>&lt;link&gt;</b>' +
     'link<b>&lt;/link&gt;</b>!' +
     '<p>' +
     'Simply enter this text in the Caption property of the TJvLinkLabel, ' +
     'just as you usually do with the TLabel component. The result looks ' +
     'something like this:' +
     '<p>' +
     'This text is <b>bold, and <i>italic</i>, and includes</b> a ' +
     '<link>link</link>!' +
     '<p>' +
     'For example, to start a section to be displayed as <b>bold text</b>, ' +
     'you''ll need to insert a "tag", in this case <b>&lt;b&gt;</b>. End the ' +
     'bold section with <b>&lt;/b&gt;</b>.' +
     '<p>' +
     'For a full listing of supported tags, <link>go on to the next ' +
     'page!</link>',
     // Supported tags
     '<b>Basic text formatting</b><br>' +
     '<b>&lt;b&gt;</b> - <b>Bold text</b><br>' +
     '<b>&lt;i&gt;</b> - <i>Italic text</i><br>' +
     '<b>&lt;u&gt;</b> - <u>Underlined text</u><br>' +
     '<b>&lt;color=[TCOLOR]&gt;</b> - <color=clBlue>Font Color</color>' +
     '<p>' +
     '<b>Line and paragraph breaks</b><br>' +
     '<b>&lt;br&gt;</b> - Line break (no end tag)<br>' +
     '<b>&lt;p&gt;</b> - Paragraph break (no end tag)' +
     '<p>' +
     '<b>Special features</b><br>' +
     '<b>&lt;link&gt;</b> - <link>Hypertext links</link><br>' +
     '<b>&lt;dynamic&gt;</b> - Text whose contents change ' +
     '<link>dynamically</link> (no end tag)',
     // Handling links
     'What happens when a user clicks a link? The <i>OnLinkClick</i> event ' +
     'handler fires, making it easy for you to perform any action you want. ' +
     'You may, for instance, open the user''s web browser, displaying a web ' +
     'page, or you can bring up a dialog window in your application, or ' +
     'something entirely different.' +
     '<p>' +
     'The <i>LinkNumber</i> parameter tells you which link the user ' +
     'clicked, while the <i>LinkText</i> tells you the contents of the ' +
     'link (with any tags removed).',
     // Dynamic tags
     '<i>Dynamic content</i> is used for content which may not be known when ' +
     'you design the form, or content that changes during the course of ' +
     'time, such as a label reporting memory usage. While you could simply ' +
     'assign a new string to the <i>Caption</i> property, you''d have to ' +
     'store the information both in the form file, and in the code itself ' +
     '(or only the latter). To add insult to injury, the entire string would ' +
     'have to be reparsed, negatively impacting performance. Also, this ' +
     'solution is awkward at best, and hard to maintain.' +
     '<p>' +
     'Enter dynamic tags. Specify which content changes dynamically by ' +
     'replacing the text itself with <b>&lt;dynamic&gt;</b>. You''ll need to ' +
     'handle the <i>OnDynamicTagInit</i> event, to give these tags default ' +
     'values. At run-time, simply call <i>FMyLinkLabel.UpdateDynamicTag</i> ' +
     'to update the contents of the dynamic tag at will!',
     // Play!
     '<link>Click here</link> to open a separate window, where you can test ' +
     'the TJvLinkLabel interactively! Feel free to edit the text in the edit ' +
     'box (or replace it completely), to see how TJvLinkLabel renders your ' +
     'input. On the right, you''ll see a tree representation of the contents ' +
     'of the edit box.' +
     '<p>' +
     '<b>Note:</b> I believe that the text in the separate window is used in ' +
     'various desktop publishing products as placeholder text - this copy ' +
     'was found on the Internet. As I don''t speak Latin, I have no idea ' +
     'what it means, if anything.', 
     // Source code
     'I believe that TJvLinkLabel''s source code is clearly written and easy ' +
     'to follow. Feel free to contribute!' +
     '<p>' +
     'TJvLinkLabel consists primarily of the component itself, a parser ' +
     'which tries to make sense of the contents of the <i>Caption</i> ' +
     'property and returns a tree representation of this data, and a ' +
     'renderer, which renders the output to your screen. Thanks to ' +
     'interfaces, you can easily replace either of these two components, ' +
     'provided that your class implements the same interfaces that the ' +
     'default parser and renderer are required to. The renderer should also ' +
     'be quite easy to extend, with your own tags.' +
     '<p>' +
     'Please read the <link>full documentation</link> for pointers on ' +
     'features I''d like to see implemented in the future, and any bugs ' +
     'which I would love to see squashed. You''ll also find comments ' +
     'pertaining to areas where performance could be improved, and areas of ' +
     'the code that could be more modular. In short, if you''d like to hack ' +
     'the code, see this document for useful tips!',
     // Read more
     'At this time, the documentation is maintained as a standard text file, ' +
     'although we plan to provide it either as XHTML/CSS or as a help file ' +
     'in the future. Look for it in the TJvLinkLabel directory!' +
     '<p>' +
     'Thanks for using TJvLinkLabel!' +
