Hi,

The other day somebody asked me if there are offline help files available for the Lazarus IDE itself. I had a look, and everything seems to be online via the wiki site. It also doesn't seem configurable, like the RTL, LCL and FCL help for online or offline usage.

Are there any plans for a offline help system? After all the included 'lhelp' program seems pretty good lately and could very easily be used as the default help viewer for Lazarus.

Regards,
- Graeme -

Speaking for myself, lot's of plans, little time.

This might not exactly what you need, but it sure helps a bit.

I don't have an issue with the FPC or LCL documentation. I always generate my own offline copy as well using fpdoc. On the other hand, the IDE help is *only* available online - in no repository and in no usable format.

If you want to spend some time on it, Christian Ulrich made a tool to extract information from a wiki and make it available off line.
