[issue33396] IDLE: Improve and document help doc viewer

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

#35093 implements item 6, (initially) doc the help viewer.  When we improve the 
help viewer, we should revise the doc at the same time.
(I unlinked comment with wrong issue number.)

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

8. Use configured colors.  #34548 does this for text viewer, so would be 
automatic if subclass from that.

9. Upgrade text viewer to include 1, 3, and 4.  It also should use proportional 
font that help viewer uses.

10 Can Scripts/rst2html be used to directly generate idlelib/help.html from 
Doc/library/idle.rst?

[issue33396] IDLE: Improve and document help doc viewer

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy :

The IDLE help doc viewer displays help.html in a tk Text subclass. This index 
issue follows #25198, which fixed three immediate issues, and left the 
following for later.  When tackled, the items below should be separate issues 
and PRs listed as dependencies.  

1. msg251181 Base font size on user config and control-mousewheel.
2. "   " Make within-document html links in work in the viewer.
3. "   " Make Find (^F) work within the viewer.
4. msg251571 Navigate with keys as in editor.
5. msg251556 Open TOC with Key (Esc?, F1?); enhance navigation.

New items:

6. Add Help Doc Viewer doc to Help section.
   I prefer not adding a menu and see an entry as an alternative.

7. 1, 3, and 4 should try to avoid duplicating editor code.  Perhaps we should 
enhance the plain text viewer and use it as a superclass for both base editor 
and html viewer.
