Can you be more specific? What code error?

There are some hints here:
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Creating_IDE_Help

The lhelp package is not yet mentioned on this page. Can someone add a few words about it?

If you have Kylix around, you can integrate language reference help with Lazarus IDE. If not, then you need to download the prog.pdf, ref.pdf files from the Free Pascal website and manually search for syntax help.

I know this sucks. PDF's are great if you plan to print the documents, but they are definitely not the ideal help format for context sensitive application help.

PS:
I'm busy working on a help system and new help viewer application for fpGUI Toolkit. I'm planning on implementing the FPC ref and prog documentation in the new help format. This should also allow the new help viewer to be integrated with Lazarus IDE, even though it's not a LCL based application. Supported platforms will be whatever fpGUI supports: currently Linux, Windows and *BSD. I'll keep you guys updated.

There is a help in the popup menu of the messages window. It shows the hint of the FPC errore.msg file. For example:

Error: Illegal expression

It will show:
This can occur under many circumstances. Usually when trying to evaluate constant expressions.

AFAIK there is no list of links to the FPC docs yet. Maybe with the new lhelp and the new kwd files something like this can be achieved.
