Hi!
Do you mean ProfStefBrowser (frontend fo ProfStef) or HelpSystem (initially 
started by Torsten)? 

I am not sure what you mean by modular. It has a Metacello configuration.

With regard to automatic help, in HelpSystem API help on packages and 
individual classes can already be generated automatically, and some very basic 
support for tagging methods is implemented. Right now it generates a page with 
documentation for all methods in a class, with methods tagged with <help> 
reordered to appear at the top of the text. 

A nice idea on squeak-dev was to add support for a simple structured markup 
language like Markdown in class comments. We could use this to write "big-
picture" documentation directly in a class comment. I think this would 
complement the method comments quite nicely.

Danny
