For my own app I write the help in Markdown and have a little ruby script to
process all the files to make a HTML help book I include with the app. I
then mirror this help book on my website.

I agree with the earlier sentiment that lots of users are on laptops and/or
don't have full time internet access so it's nice to have a local copy.

I like having the online copy to link to when answering emails.

Hope this info helps.
