+<p><b>Files and web pages</b></p>
+
+<ul>
+<p>This resource type allows you to link to any web page or other file
+ on the public web. It also allows you to link to any web page or
+ other file that you have uploaded into your course files area
+ from your own desktop computer.</p>
+
+<p>Normal web pages are simply displayed as they are, while multimedia files
+ are dealt with more intelligently and may be embedded within a
+ web page. For example, MP3 files will be displayed using a built-in
+ streaming player, as will movie files, flash animations and so on.</p>
+
+<p>There are many options for displaying your content in popup windows,
+ framed windows and so on.</p>
+
+<p>In particular, if your resource is a web application or other type
+ of content able to accept parameters, you can choose to send information
+ to your resource such as the user's name, their email, the course they
+ are currently in, and so on.</p>

+<p><b>HTML web page</b></p>
+
+<ul>
+<p>This sort of resource makes it easy to develop a complete single web page
+ within Moodle, especially when you are using Moodle's WYSIWYG HTML editor.</p>
+
+<p>The page is stored in the database, not as a file, and you have a lot of
+ freedom to do almost anything you like using HTML, including Javascript.</p>

+<p><b>Labels</b></p>
+
+<ul>
+<p>Labels are a little different from other resources because they are
+ text and images that are actually embedded directly among the other
+ activity links in the course page.</p>
+</ul>

+<p><b>Text page</b></p>
+
+<ul>
+<p>This type of resource is a simple page written using plain text.</p>
+
+<p>A number of formatting types are available to help turn your plain
+ text into nice-looking web pages.</p>
