I've managed to make embedding help in each page of the site
work very
well -- once I had fixed my urls conf so that the system
wasn't
redirecting to the associated page instead of embedding it
.

Essentially each page has a 'helptext' block at the bottom.

For /help/ the help page renders all the help text for each
page on the
site. For /help/about, just the help text for the about page
is
rendered.

The system works through a simple system of switching the
template from
which each normal page is derived from the 'generic'
template to a
'generichelp' template by using a variable for the argument
to the 
{% extends %} block, and using 'include' directives in the
main help
template.

Hope this is of help to someone.

Rory
