#X text 18 151 2) Include a short example patch. Justification: it's
the whole reason to make help files be Pd patches!;
#X text 18 56 1) For object help patches \, do not automatically turn
on audio when the patch opens. Justification: there is no way to detect
how the help patch audio will interact with whatever the user is already
doing (such as opening several help patches simultaneously). Since
unexpected audio signals can damage equipment (and ears) it is best
to let the user turn on audio at his/her leisure.;
#X text 18 181 You can use pddp/helplink and pddp/pddplink. See the
"Related_objects" subpatch below for more info:;
