+"#Chapter 8: Rectangles "
+"\n"
+"You have a grid of squares, with numbers written in some (but "
+"not all) of the squares. Your task is to subdivide the grid into "
+"rectangles of various sizes, such that (a) every rectangle contains "
+"exactly one numbered square, and (b) the area of each rectangle is "
+"equal to the number written in its numbered square. "
+"\n"
+"Credit for this game goes to the Japanese puzzle magazine Nikoli [3] "
+"; I've also seen a Palm implementation at Puzzle Palace [4]. Unlike "
+"Puzzle Palace's implementation, my version automatically generates "
+"random grids of any size you like. The quality of puzzle design is "
+"therefore not quite as good as hand-crafted puzzles would be, but on "
+"the plus side you get an inexhaustible supply of puzzles tailored to "
+"your own specification. "

+"\n#8.1 Rectangles controls "
+"\n"
+"This game is played with the mouse or cursor keys. "
+"\n"
+"Left-click any edge to toggle it on or off, or left-click and "
+"drag to draw an entire rectangle (or line) on the grid in one go "
+"(removing any existing edges within that rectangle). Right-clicking "
+"and dragging will allow you to erase the contents of a rectangle "
+"without affecting its edges. "
+"\n"
+"Alternatively, use the cursor keys to move the position indicator "
+"around the board. Pressing the return key then allows you to use the "
+"cursor keys to drag a rectangle out from that position, and pressing "
+"the return key again completes the rectangle. Using the space bar "
+"instead of the return key allows you to erase the contents of a "
+"rectangle without affecting its edges, as above. Pressing escape "
+"cancels a drag. "
+"\n"
+"When a rectangle of the correct size is completed, it will be "
+"shaded. "
+"\n"
+"(All the actions described in section 2.1 are also available.) "
+"\n"
+"\n#8.2 Rectangles parameters "
+"\n"
+"These parameters are available from the `Custom...' option on the "
+"`Type' menu. "
+"\n"
+"_Width_, _Height_ "
+"\n"
+"Size of grid, in squares. "
+"\n"
+"_Expansion factor_ "
+"\n"
+"This is a mechanism for changing the type of grids generated by "
+"the program. Some people prefer a grid containing a few large "
+"rectangles to one containing many small ones. So you can ask "
+"Rectangles to essentially generate a _smaller_ grid than the "
+"size you specified, and then to expand it by adding rows and "
+"columns. "
+"\n"
+"The default expansion factor of zero means that Rectangles will "
+"simply generate a grid of the size you ask for, and do nothing "
+"further. If you set an expansion factor of (say) 0.5, it means "
+"that each dimension of the grid will be expanded to half again "
+"as big after generation. In other words, the initial grid will "
+"be 2/3 the size in each dimension, and will be expanded to its "
+"full size without adding any more rectangles. "
+"\n"
+"Setting an expansion factor of around 0.5 tends to make the "
+"game more difficult, and also (in my experience) rewards a "
+"less deductive and more intuitive playing style. If you set it "
+"_too_ high, though, the game simply cannot generate more than a "
+"few rectangles to cover the entire grid, and the game becomes "
+"trivial. "
+"\n"
+"_Ensure unique solution_ "
+"\n"
+"Normally, Rectangles will make sure that the puzzles it presents "
+"have only one solution. Puzzles with ambiguous sections can be "
+"more difficult and more subtle, so if you like you can turn off "
+"this feature and risk having ambiguous puzzles. Also, finding "
+"_all_ the possible solutions can be an additional challenge for "
+"an advanced player. Turning off this option can also speed up "
+"puzzle generation. "
