# Context help animated icon

What's this? The help pointer clicks on something to explain it: a pointer arrow with a question mark beside it. Light: the pointer presses in on its tip as it clicks, and the question mark pops out beside it past full size, then tilts quizzically and settles. Strong: the pointer double-clicks, and the question mark pops bigger and tilts one way, then the other, before it settles.
