/**
 * Provide online user help.
 *
 * By implementing hook_help(), a module can make documentation available to
 * the user for the module as a whole, or for specific pages. Help for
 * developers should usually be provided via function header comments in the
 * code, or in special API example files.
 *
 * The page-specific help information provided by this hook appears in the
 * Help block (provided by the core Help module), if the block is displayed on
 * that page. The module overview help information is displayed by the Help
 * module. It can be accessed from the page at /admin/help or from the Extend
 * page. If a module implements hook_help() the help system expects module
 * overview help to be provided.
 *
 * For detailed usage examples of:
 * - Module overview help, see content_translation_help(). Module overview
 *   help should follow
 *   @link https://www.drupal.org/node/632280 the standard help template. @endlink
 * - Page-specific help using only routes, see book_help().
 * - Page-specific help using routes and $request, see block_help().
 *
 * @param string $route_name
 *   For page-specific help, use the route name as identified in the
 *   module's routing.yml file. For module overview help, the route name
 *   will be in the form of "help.page.$modulename".
 * @param Drupal\Core\Routing\RouteMatchInterface $route_match
 *   The current route match. This can be used to generate different help
 *   output for different pages that share the same route.
 *
 * @return string|array
 *   A render array, localized string, or object that can be rendered into
 *   a string, containing the help text.
