there is a chm viewer in lazarus/components/chmhelp. it is possible to
run the free microsoft htmlhelp compiler "hhc.exe" in wine under linux.
somewhere here I have a project file for hhc to compile the html fpc and
lcl documentation into a .chm file or one for the each rtl fcl lcl etc.
There is also a component in that directory to install in lazarus so
that pressing f1 starts lhelp and displays the correct page. It's very fast.
