Description

Abstract base class for help topics that have simple text and no subtopics.

This class implements subtopic-related methods from IHelpTopic such that there are no subtopics. writeHelp() is also implemented such that it uses HelpTopicContext::writeTextBlock() to write out the text returned by a new virtual method helpText().
