<title>How to use flags</title>

<p>Flags are used to mark tiles which you suspect may hide a mine. Putting
a flag on a tile prevents you from clicking on it and possibly causing an
explosion, which would end the game.</p>

<title>How to place a flag on a tile</title>

<p>Red flags are those that cannot be clicked. To place a red flag on
a tile:</p>

<p>To make the number of available flags equal to the number of
remaining mines, enable <gui style="checkbox">Warn if too many flags
placed</gui> and <gui style="checkbox">Use "I'm not sure" flags</gui>
preference options, then restart the application.<!-- This is a bug!
The warnings do not work properly at the moment.--></p>
