+### Detailed Help (FlaskPaste)
+
+`!help` pastes detailed reference output to FlaskPaste and appends the
+URL. The paste uses a 3-level indentation hierarchy:
+
+```
+[plugin-name]
+    Plugin description.
+
+    !command -- short help
+        Full docstring with usage, subcommands,
+        and examples.
+
+    !other -- another command
+        Its docstring here.
+```
+
+- `!help` (no args) -- pastes the full reference grouped by plugin
+- `!help <cmd>` -- pastes the command's docstring (command at column 0)
+- `!help <plugin>` -- pastes all commands under the plugin header
+
+If FlaskPaste is not loaded or the paste fails, the short IRC reply
+still works -- no regression.

 ### Command Shorthand
 
 Commands can be abbreviated to any unambiguous prefix:
