We are reviving the old extension to handle helpfiles through
LibreOffice, it's much easier than editing the xml files.

We were discussing where to place the files, they will be made available
once the ESC has decided where it should go, as well as the two .xml
files I discuss on the wiki page and currently on my computer.

You don't need that, putting the file on an issue is enough.
As said at the beginning we are trying to find a way to simplify the
