Huh?

fpdoc (included with FPC) is for Class Documentation only - source
code. FPDoc Editor (included with Lazarus IDE) is meant to edit the
XML you feed to fpdoc.

Documentation for an application like the Lazarus IDE's various
dialogs, or the Accounting package you wrote with Lazarus etc is NOT
class documentation. So you can't use fpdoc, thus you need a different
help format when it comes to application help.

So when you say that the developers must use FPDoc Editor when they
want to document a new dialog they added to the IDE makes no sense!
