def show
  # The ":id" value ends up being used as the name of a Partial to be
  # rendered by the 'help' view. To stop hackers putting dots, slashes
  # etc. into a URL in an attempt to get the renderer to load a different
  # Partial, only let "a-z" and underscores through.

  @partial = params[ :id ].gsub( /[^a-z_]/, '' )

Hide the main heading; it is output by the view rather than letting the layout do it so that both heading and body text can be wrapped in a single DIV for CSS styling of the whole text block, if required.
