 ### Customising the Help URL
 
 You may be using Moor Tools as part of a wider QGIS deployment. In this case you may wish to override the destination URL of the Help button with your own content. This can be achieved by altering the definition of ``helpUrl`` towards the bottom of _templateselectordialog.py_ in the plugin source files.
