The LCL must delegate Help queries to the HelpSystem.
The HelpSystem of the VCL is defined in HelpIntfs and may be sufficient for
small things. But for the Open Source (e.g. Lazarus IDE itself) it is not
flexible/comfortable enough. That's why I propose to move the Help interface
unit of the IDEIntf to the LCL, rename the units (prefix l or laz) and use
that as a helpsystem.
It needs some pascal interfaces to be used in TCustomForm and TApplication.
I took a look at HelpIntfs at lclintf directory, and it doesn´t seam
easely extensible, nor provides a way to have multiple viewers and
dbs.
IMHO it doesn´t seam suitable to be utilized as a Framework for apps
produced with Lazarus.
On another thread there is the description of the Kylix help system,
what do you guys (lazarus developers) think of using either the Kylix
system, or a Kylix-like system?
I can develop such unit, with interfaces to be implemented by people
writing their own viewers / dbs.
