Getting Help Text from Describe Field Result Methods.

I have built a cutom visualforce page. This visualforce page has field sets that it uses. I would like to display the help text for the fields as outputText on the visualforce page. I found the Describe Field Result Methods but I can't find a way to use them. I was wondering if someone could give me a hand figureing it out or pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.

<apex:outputText value="{!$ObjectType.TAP_Candidate__c.Fields[set].inlineHelpText}"/>

Have you tried the help text functionality without describe field results?Tryout this sample code to get help text for a fields.

<img src="/s.gif" alt="Help" class="helpIcon" title="Use the “Value” field to provide the text that will appear as a link in the Header Menu in the specified position.  The “Link” field is used to indicate where the menu item should direct the user to when clicked. "/>

 Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
