+    <h1>JpegWasher Help</h1>
+    <h2>Using This Program</h2>
+    <p>To remove sensitive metadata from your digital photos, just drag the JPEG
+      file(s) containing them onto the main window of this application, or
+      choose <em>File… Wash</em> from the menu bar.</p>
+    <p>A dialog will pop up displaying the metadata in the file, with check
+      boxes in the leftmost column marking the data to be deleted. If you
+      disagree with JpegWasher’s choices, check or uncheck boxes until you are
+      satisfied, then click on the Wash button below. The file will then be
+      washed, and a new dialog will pop up displaying any remaining metadata in
+      the washed file.</p>
+    <p>The newly-washed file will have the same name as the original one, with
+      “_washed” appended to it; e.g. washing <code>cat.jpg</code> will result
+      in <code>cat_washed.jpg</code>. (Whether or not the cat enjoys being
+      washed is an entirely different matter.)</p>
+    <h2>Configuring JpegWasher</h2>
+    <p>This is a configurable program, whose operation may be adjusted by the
+      preferences dialog (accessed under the <em>JpegWasher</em> menu on the
+      Mac and the <em>File</em> menu on Linux and Windows).</p>
+    <p>The whitelist that determines which metadata keys will <em>not</em> be
+      deleted can be changed, via the <em>Whitelist</em> pane of the
+      preferences dialog. Note that there are two kinds of whitelist entries:
+      ones that match entire keys, and ones that match the prefixes of keys (the
+      latter entries end with an asterisk “*”). Whitelist entries are case
+      sensitive; “exif.image.white*” will not match “Exif.Image.WhitePoint.”</p>
+    <p>It is also possible to set the folder where output files are created, via
+      the <em>Folders</em> pane (by default, this is the same folder the input
+      file was in).</p>
