I can see you never even tried hbIDE, your words express it.

hbIDE is platform independent.

 

"not yet really a newbie option" - I assume you mean the "help authoring" part 
- right ?

Then probably you are wrong. There is "Documentation Writer" widget which has 
fields

and then saving option to disk. Try once, write a function doc an dsend to the 
list.

 

Yes of course that component requires some more work, but considering the fact 

that I received no feedback from anyone, what more is required, it got stagnant.

I will be really willing to extend it, show your intent to use.

You may be right and wrong too. It depends on the context of the topic.

We already agreed on the format few months back. Did you went through those 
messages ?

It is NANFORUM format and whatever documentation Harbour has, is in the SVN 
under this 

format only. It is easy to convert it to any higher level format. hbIDE 
presents it in a 

.chm style control already. The code is already there to convert it to PDF or 
compiled .chm.

But this is a point to be considered once actual help is written.

 

Time and again we fallback on discussing about formats, nobody actually start 
writing.
