format_text ( self,  input_text )

Fix up the text so it can be displayed.

Remove the first whitespace character from the input text, since it probably comes from code that was indented.

insert_node (
        self,
        node_path,
        help_text='',
        )

Insert a help text node into the tree.

The new node is returned.

Arguments

node_path

A string with node names separated by the nodePathSep value for the class. The path is assumed to start at the current node, so the name of the current node should not be inserted into the beginning of the path.

help_text

A string which should be displayed as the help string for the node.
