Implementation of hook_help().

Throughout Drupal, hook_help() is used to display help text at the top of pages. Some other parts of Drupal pages get explanatory text from these hooks as well. We use it here to illustrate how to add help text to the pages your module defines.

developer/examples/page_example.module, line 17
This is an example outlining how a module can be used to display a custom page at a given URL.

Code

function page_example_help($section) {
  switch ($section) {
    case 'foo':

      // Here is some help text for a custom page.
      return t('This sentence contains all the letters in the English alphabet.');
  }
}
