This example demonstrates the **UIHelp** component functionality.
 
## Features
 
- **Markdown support** for rich text formatting
- `Code blocks` for technical documentation  
- *Italic text* and **bold text**
- Support for [links](https://fastled.io)
 
## Usage
 
```cpp
// Basic usage
UIHelp help("Your markdown content here");
 
// With grouping
UIHelp help("Content");
help.setGroup("Documentation");
```
 
### Supported Markdown
 
1. Headers (H1, H2, H3)
2. Bold and italic text
3. Code blocks and inline code
4. Lists (ordered and unordered)
5. Links

### Color Management
 
FastLED provides several ways to work with colors:
 
- `CRGB` for RGB colors
- `CHSV` for HSV colors  
- `ColorFromPalette()` for palette-based colors
 
```cpp
// Set pixel colors
leds[0] = CRGB::Red;
leds[1] = CHSV(160, 255, 255); // Blue-green
leds[2] = ColorFromPalette(RainbowColors_p, 64);
```
 
### Animation Patterns
 
Common animation techniques:
 
1. **Fading**: Use `fadeToBlackBy()` or `fadeLightBy()`
2. **Color cycling**: Modify HSV hue values
3. **Movement**: Shift array contents or use math functions
 
### Performance Tips
 
- Call `FastLED.show()` only when needed
- Use `FASTLED_DELAY()` instead of `delay()`
- Consider using *fast math* functions for smoother animations)");
