RE: Inline help?

Are they perhaps referring to Tooltips or "What's This?" help? Otherwise, as
Geoff says, they probably mean embedded help.

Greetings all,

Is anyone familiar with the term "inline help"? I'm recently back into the 
tech writing game, but this is a new term for me.

Basically, my developers are using the term to describe the explanatory text

that appears with each feature of the software. I'm used to calling this 
"online help", though that's not exactly what it is either.

Any thoughts?

Kevin
