Unfortunately no. There is a tool that was used by Sun to edit the .xhp
files through Writer, but you can't escape the xml code and the
complicated structure of the help.

The principal documentation is in English, but it's from 2005. Since,
the help files have evolved, the tool has evolved, the tags have also
evolved, this is all this adaptation that is needed.

 Is there a link to a how-to already or does it

It needs a lot of learning :)

Of course, but it's far from simple, and there is a need to learn.

Imagine that you have to learn a new language, what would be the best ;)
All the files are on my server and can be reach easily by the one who
wants to participate (I can provide the link in private, my server is
not a robust one). Before making all the files public, I would like to
make sure that all work correctly.
But as I said, I'm willing to help anybody who would like to participate
in the meantime.

Kind regards
Sophie
