Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ UNIT_DESCRIPTION_TYPE

Enumerator
FULL_DESCRIPTION 
NO_DESCRIPTION 

Ignore this unit for documentation purposes.

HIDDEN_BUT_SHOW_MACROS 

Although the unit itself is hidden, traits reachable via this unit are not hidden.

This is a bug workaround - traits are defined by WML macros, and therefore the help system has to use a place where that macro is instanciated to provide the documentation. None of the normal unit types has the "loyal" trait, but there is a hidden unit which does, purely to support the help system.

Treat the return type as opaque, it can return nullptr on success. Also don't extend the cache lifecycle beyond the lifecycle of the game_config_manager or over a reload of the game config.

Open a help dialog using a specified toplevel.

Open a help dialog using a toplevel other than the default.

This would allow for complete customization of the contents, although not in a very easy way. It's used as the internal implementation of the other help* functions.

Precondition
The help_manager must already exist; this is different to the functions declared in help.hpp, which is why this one's declaration is in the .cpp file. Because this takes a section as an argument, it wouldn't make sense for it to call ensure_cache_lifecycle() internally - if the help_manager doesn't already exist, that would likely destroy the referenced object at the point that this function exited.
