Ok, I found out a bit more. Inside the *.jar file the help content is
stored in *.xhp files (XML files).
There is a Main Transformation Style Sheet used for all languages.
This style sheet is responsible for converting the XML help elements
into a HTML page displayed by the help viewer. The overall layout of
the help file is specified using this style sheet.
There is also cascading style sheets *.css to describe the formatting
style for the HTML help pages generated by the main style sheet.
Since different locales require different fonts and font effects, the
cascading style sheets are language dependent. There is one set of
style sheets per language.
I think this is quite a elegant solution for application help and can
even be applied to the LCL and FCL documentation which is currently
stored in XML.
