URLs work without any plugin (i think it processed on client side).

Great :)
Btw, is there a way to add URL into the help? I have been looking for that feature but found it no where else.
I know it's possible because I saw one plugin (SimplePrefix) that can put URL into game chat. And I hope McCity Help can do that too!

Oh I get it. Thanks! But what is the 'tags' for? Is it for shortened commands? Like if I have
In this case is /help MS the same as /help MyServer?

Shure.
1-st way - ingame editing. - just make new topic, like in this instruction open me.
2-nd way - use text editor (not ingame, and i don't recommend standart windows Notepad). subsections is just sibfolders in your file system.
(open %bukkit_foldier%/plugins/McCity Help/main - it's is main folder, make here subfolders and make in subfolders new files with topics and new subfolders)

Posted Apr 28, 2012Can you give example of subsections? Can we set that up via .yml files only?
I recommend this plugin to everyone. It is yet the greatest help plugin published IMO :)

If I understand you correctly, here's an example:
/ adminhelp new MultiString
/ adminhelp addstring First line
/ adminhelp addstring Second line
/ adminhelp addstring Another line
/ adminhelp save

ive edited like that since the beginning :)
rarely use ingame commands to edit config just most plugins give the option to reload just that plugins config or files and was hoping you could at some stage add this feature
by no means was i expecting it in a few days i was merely offering a suggestion on how i believe your plugin could be bettered
i am extremely happy with the features it has best help plugin and ive tested every other one i believe
also quick question is there a new line character i can use to better format the help ingame?

In the next few days, I will not add it because I'm working on another part of the plug-in.
If you need to edit or create many articles, I recommend you to edit articles in the files. (For example, with Notepan PlusPlus on Windows or Gedit on Linux)

Posted Feb 1, 2012could you add a reload command attached to the admin permission node? its kinda annoying restarting/reloading the entire server just to add or edit a topic
