Hi, "online help" refers to built-in help and the term is not very telling. Technically speaking I would think more of something like "embedded" or "included" or whatever the proper English word might be. "local" is very strange, especially if one day LO will become also a webservice. It will not be "local" but it will be part of the package, "embedded"; if it won't be there, there will probably be linking to the wiki, I guess. "internal"/"external"?
