I normally build Lazarus from svn, targeting bigide, so I'm not sure that instructions that tell me to download prebuilt binary .chm files are relevant to me. However, if I could ask two questions here about the mechanics:

a) Assuming that ChmHelpPkg is loaded but lhelp is not compiled. Since the new version of Lazarus might not yet have been run, is there an idiot-proof way of telling lazbuild what Lazarus directory etc. is to be used when building lhelp.lpi?

b) What is the easiest way of integrating .chm files for the RTL etc., to the extent that context-sensitive help works for things like Format()? Again, if I'm building FPC from source I presume it makes more sense to generate these locally (unless it expects lots of Latex handling or equivalent).

Finally, if I just want to add a few lines of plain text as context-sensitive help for a control or form, with the main documentation having been prepared by e.g. Lyx and saved as a .pdf, what's the way to do this?
