wiki? I'm just suggesting that you can use the wiki to create these
documents.
One lookup is "what you want to do", another is document class, maybe
another is command/environment. It could also include all the packages
you can add into your document. For instance, it would be wonderful to
know that if you want your table of contents to be clickable links in a
PDF, you need the hyperref package.
Different people could document different packages.
If someone can't find a package to do what they need, THEN they use the
LaTeX tweaking program to change or create the command/environment.
In such a situation, popup "tool tips" could easily enough show the
laTeX or LyX code required for the given feature (to list just one
example). That would also be extremely helpful in learning the most
commonly used commands.
I know how to do that in HTML, using CSS, I think.
You can also get popups on the wiki, here's a simple attempt
http://wiki.lyx.org/Playground/TestPopup
Just hold the mouse over "ECU" for instance. Generally speaking, anything
you can do with HTML is doable on the wiki (although it might take some
customization).
