Well, it is not a one click action, but it is not difficult neither: Create the example, save it under docs/xml/lcl/unitname/something.pas and set the filename in the fpdoc editor. For instance the example of TRadioGroup points to extctrls/radiogroup.pas. >[...] > >> With Lazarus it would be best if the Delphi help could be linked in by > >> the users (of course it can't be shipped :) ).

This way the help does not only show help for the identifier itself, but for every ancestor. For example the help for TMyFormDescendant automatically shows the help for TForm.

Time. I first worked on the tools to create help content. The next steps are to improve the presentation and context insensitive search functions.
