<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>
<p>The exact look of the flags depends on the theme. You can change the
theme by pressing the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and
then selecting <gui style="menuitem">Appearance</gui>.</p>
