As you are suggesting a kind of wikipedia like help system, I would make it
just that.
Host the help files on your website by means of a wikipedia-like script.
User can update/correct the help files on your website.

In this case I would keep the help files seperate from your application.

Refer to the online help files from your application.

Topic : Providing Help in a Delphi Application

My previous software applications I've written have never got so complicated
as to need a help file for the user, but now since I want to package some of
my newer software I want to implement  help systems in the software.
Traditionally this is done by creating hlp files or now the newer CHM files.
Being a single developer I do not have a whole department to write the help
files for the user.  I have done help for previous applications but I find
it terribly cumbersome.

I had an idea based on websites I've seen to provide a simple help file for
the user and then let the user expand on the help file when they get stuck
with certain situations.  Does anyone have any suggestions about how to
tackle this issue of putting a help system in a programme?

Yours sincerely
