Hi Michael,

It always bothered me that it is cumbersome to navigate the docs - the
standard tex4ht mechanism is too bare-bones.

So I added some postprocessing to add a (optional) sidebar:

https://www.freepascal.org/~michael/docs-demo/docs/sidebar/

Which makes navigation more comfortable.

It loads the sidebar at runtime with some javascript, to avoid bloating every page with the same sidebar HTML.

Comments, suggestions welcome.

It looks nice and is certainly useful. There's just one caveat - could you please check whether HTML files created this way are still usable in our IDE? It isn't critical if not as long as the CHM version of all the help files is provided as an alternative (and it works correctly with that version), but if the direct HTML files aren't supported as the help in the IDE any longer, we should communicate it clearly (especially considering the fact that some users might have this configured for their existing installations, but also for new installations).

Tomas
