I do understand this.
But especially with the non-English versions it would be nice to make
the update of the help texts as easy as possible to enable the casual
volunteer to get involved.

The search functions are bad in all three of them.

In Delphi I simply type a word (i.e. TForm) in an empty line and press
F1 to get help on TForm. This is the usual way I learn about new
components I'd like to use. This does not seem to work for me in Lazarus.
This works perfectly for me in Lazarus. Perhaps I missed something but

NO I did test offline help by d/lding the help file and setting the
path to same. This of course is no difference to the online version (if
the internet connection works).

Yes, noted. But some points you mentioned I don't understand. So I wonder if you
spotted a bug.

So an _easy_ way to have the users provide examples might be helpful.
Well, it is not a one click action, but it is not difficult

Sorry I don't have any experience in _making_ a third party Delphi help,
but many of my colleagues do _use_ third party Delphi help file for the

Hi,
I just committed a small program under fpdoc - fpclasschart - which will create
a XML tree with all classes/objects/interfaces it finds in a set of files.
The sources are parsed and forward class declarations are skipped.
It has support for merging class trees. It's thoroughly tested on

Working in a new piece of code I had noted that:
