Why isn't it extensible?
Multiple databases:
See procedure THelpManager.RegisterIDEHelpDatabases
Multiple viewers is also possible:
Extend procedure THelpManager.RegisterDefaultIDEHelpViewers;
Here only one HelpViewer is registered. In your own app you can register
as much as you want. The IDE has only one help viewer standard available.
But this procedures have no parameters!
It is just my oppinion, but I think that a model with Interfaces to be
implemented is more straigth forward and easier to be understood for
people creating software with Lazarus.
I see it seems hard to read code indeed.
Looking at HelpIntfs the way it is currently, it´s very hard to find
out what should I implement, what class to derive from to build by own
viewer / db? Also a interface has a advantage here that it can be
utilized on a class derived from anything.
Because the originate from fpc 1.0 era, they are not interfaces, but
abstract classes.
