If you want to create the RTL and FCL docs during installation, you can 
use according project files. These files are e.g. created by the 
FPDocManager. In the case of the FPC documentation some paths have to be 
fixed, so that the other builds can e.g. find the content files. Since 
the FPC descriptions do not change very often, you can distribute the 
project files together with your installer.

Since you have to download the docs sources in either case, you also can 
use the supplied MakeFile, of course.

Full offline documentation also should include the REF etc. files, which 
cannot be created like the LCL docs. So it might be easier to download 
the readily available help files, instead of creating these during the 
installation.
