Detailed Description

Use this component when you want to explain details or usage of a feature of the UI, but the explanation is too long to fit in an inline label, and too important to put in a hover tooltip and risk the user missing it.

Example usage:

 import QtQuick.Layouts
 import org.kde.plasma.extras as PlasmaExtras

 RowLayout {
     spacing: Kirigami.Units.smallSpacing

     PlasmaComponents.CheckBox {
         text: i18ndc("your_app_name", "@option:check", "Allow screen tearing in fullscreen windows")
     }

     PlasmaExtras.ContextualHelpButton {
         toolTipText: i18ndc("your_app_name", "@info:tooltip", "With most displays, screen tearing reduces latency at the cost of some visual fidelity at high framerates. Note that not all graphics drivers support this setting.")
     }
 }
