Sure, then keep the CHM install instructions as the first topic on that page, just don't loose the objective of that wiki page, and don't delete or talk down the other topics. > Meanwhile, lhelp has been included in the bigide build - tacitly > answering your question now with "the default help is lhelp/chm". Still no clear answer to me, but I get where they are going with that. Maybe in the next release they will announce it as "official". Still sad that the core team couldn't make a decisive decision in 10 years. > confuse new users.

Yes, and also remember that there are many types of developers out there. I might use the Lazarus IDE, but I do not develop LCL applications. I also don't use CHM help formats. So the current information on that specific wiki page is very relevant to me. Also consider OS/2 users. There is no OS/2 API help in CHM format, *only* INF. So to anybody working on OS/2 or eComStation, the other information is relevant. Same could be said about the GTK remark earlier. If somebody has information on how to integrate GTK2 or Qt help formats into Lazarus IDE, because they use Lazarus IDE and Object Pascal to develop there GTK2 or Qt apps talking directly to those frameworks (not via LCL), then such information is also relevant to that wiki page. The wiki page in question is all about "installing help files in the Lazarus IDE". If you want some "dummies guide" to getting LCL development going, then create a LCL dummies guide tutorial on the wiki and link the relevant information in. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
