Of course. But I meant file formats, not OS formats.

Ahh...

HTML is the most standardized. PDF comes next.

For these formats, components to display them exist.
If you invent your own format, you need to develop
components as well...

That's true.  I was actually thinking in the lines of using HTML, but
just package it better so it can be released as a single compressed
file and include Search and Index support via the Help Viewer.  Not to
mention the fpdoc already exports the XML to HTML which is a big
bonus.

Andrew Haines worked on a chm viewer written in and for Lazarus. See 
components\chmhelp.

What is/was missing for viewing the rtl/fcl/lcl help in chm is good content tree. IMHO it can be generated by fpdoc, but somebody has to write that code.

A drawback of chm, that I don't know about free tools to generate it except the Microsoft Help Workshop, which is windows only. No problem for me, because windows is my main platform, but still.
