Lazarus Registration

a week ago, but didn't get any reply.
Is something wrong with my account,
or the lazarus page administrator,

Maybe, but the problem is that it cause to stop
Kylix (Delphi for Linux) development, and further support
of Delphi.

Hi.
One of the things I think It may be considered to do a Lazarus C++

source file, instead of a single file.
Another, will be the data types. By example, I

Overview
Hi, I started a new thread in order to summarize the comments about
a Help System or Help File Format for Lazarus, or even FPC.
Sorry, but I think the Re: [lazarus] New help doc format? thread
was getting to big, and focused in how to implement a help system,
and forgot the
Source file must be thought to be easy for nationalization (i. e. use
.po files in the source).
Maybe a source format file combination of *.po files and a XML file:
xml
title path= title.po /
contents path= contents.po /
/xml
So IMHO:
source file: several .po chapters
XML is fine , we only need :
1. a tool to export to various formats (HTML,PDF,CHM - all with index if
possible)
2. a tool to index XML (full text search-help index) - for IDE usage
(context help and others)
It's seems we're getting to something similar to a html source file
format and an
