Yes. > 2. Help Configuration > [I've updated and put some rants into the Wiki] Please put rants into the bug tracker. This is less effective for publicity, but more effective to get it fixed. > 2.1 The help (at least for the browser setup) should occur in hints, > because online help relies on a valid browser link. Do you mean: The parameters in the configure help should show hints? > 2.2 On Windows, the default browser can be used by simply opening the > files, and let the file type system determine the according application. > > "BrowserPath" and a distinct "Name" property are confusing.

Name and Tag are inherited from TComponent and should be hidden. > 2.3 When the distributed archive contains subdirectories, it should be > sufficient to set up the html path once, with automatic expansion for > the subdirectory pathes. (extra "All Defaults" button?) What distributed archive do you mean? > 2.4 What's the suggested StartPage? I couldn't find a global index.html > page in the distributed archive. I don't know about the 'distributed archive', but the default is $(lazarussrcdir)/docs/index.html Mattias _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
