That depends on what developers will say and if this idea will achieve a majority among core developers, but to me it looks a good path. Alternatives are welcome, but so far I don't see any alternative to put offline help in our RPM/DEB packages. > Maybe an official email stating that users should stop adding help to > the Wiki The wiki and the offline help complement themselves and should link to each other. > and rather start editing the "raw" CHM help content.

All of our offline help is in XML files for fpdoc. To build CHM from them is trivial, just do this: cd lazarus/docs/html ./build_chm.sh Now build HTML offline help: cd lazarus/docs/html ./build_lcl_html.sh It would be great if someone contributes such a script which generates LCL help in INF format. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
