Chmhelp

This is a placeholder for the Lazarus chmhelp package (components/chmhelp).

The package is an external help server that communicates with the IDE over a socket. The CHM support is based on FPC package chm.

Recompiling and configuring the help should do the trick.


Lazarus IDE help

The problem with the IDE help is in some wiki format, which is not available as an archive.

There is a tool wikihelp in lazarus-ccr that should be able to download and relink the wiki for offline use (which then could be transformed into a meagre quality but working chm), but the tool no longer works when I tried. Either I did something stupid, or something in the wiki engine/apache has been upgraded and no longer allows bulk downloads.
