Hi,

I have been following up Padre for a while though I am sorry I have not been
able to commit anything lately because of extreme workload at work.

Padre F2 Help:

   - F2 help dialog was developed first in the experimental Perl 6 plugin
   and then was later integrated in core.
   - Display PODs as HTML and has auto-completion.
   - Follows POD links but is not 100% perfect.
   - Any Padre document can have their own help provider so it is
   extensible. See Padre::Help
   - Uses the same Perl 5 help categorization as the
perldoc.perl.orgwebsite. It knows about Perl special variables.
   - Integrate nicely with perlopquick.pod (courtesy of Chas. J. Owens
IV) which
   means it has a more user-friendly operator help.
   - Integrates nicely with wxwidgets documentation when you install
   Padre::Plugin::WxWidgets
   - F2 Help dialog displays whether the current display module is a core
   module or not in the title bar and in which version it was included in as
   core.

Pending features to implement:

   - Does not display POD for the current document.
   - Blocking... does not use any background Padre::Task(s)
   - No actual indexing. It must use SQLite to provide faster index
   searches.
   - Does not dynamically index methods inside module POD.
   - Has no concept of a help category. It only knows about topics.
   - The HTML wxwidgets window lacks a couple of navigation features when
   you load HTML as a string. I cannot make it jump to a link in a HTML
   document.

Thanks,
Ahmad M. Zawawi (azawawi)
