This thread seems to have changed into one that discusses the provision 
of Help for Lazarus, so I'm going to start a new thread.

I am currently trying systematically to produce documentation for all 
the classes in the LCL, and the tool that I have found most useful is 
the FPDoc editor in the Lazarus IDE. There are a few things it does not 
readily address, such as the provision of a short description for the 
Unit files themselves - I have usually done this by hand, and the 
problem of duplicate declarations - FPDoc usually constructs 
documentation files from the last delaration in the pascal source file, 
so if the XML tags have been attached to a forward declaration, they 
often get missed, or if there are alternative versions of a declaration, 
onely one of them gets picked up.

However, by and large, the FPDoc editor is an excellent tool, and I 
would encourage anyone trying to produce Help to use it as the first 
resource.

As well as providing detailed descriptions of all the classes, 
procedures etc in the Lazarus code, we need to produce a lot of How-to 
type documentation, and this process is still in its infancy. There is a 
lot of good stuff in the wiki, but it is not very systematic. Some of 
the developers are writing a Lazarus book, and we should encourage this 
to form the basis of a good manual. We need lots of ideas, and a lot of 
work needs to be done. All offers of assistance will be welcome.
