Problem with web based documentation is that they are very slow,
requires online access, and lacks lots of feature that make dedicated
documentation viewers a much better choice.

Maybe you should take a look at DocView (fpGUI's documentation viewer)
and the highly optimised INF help file format.

DocView starts up in <1s even with multiple large INF files, allows help
file concatenation at runtime, advanced searching in and across INF
files, annotation support, bookmark support, font customisation, image
support etc. It is also very easy to integrate with any IDE or
programmer editor.

fpdoc also support the output of IPF, which is the source form of
compiled INF help files.

If you want to give DocView a try, pre-built binaries are available for
download from SourceForge. There are also pre-built INF help files for
fpGUI Class docs, Free Pascal's Language Reference (manually converted
to look much better than auto-conversions), FPC's RTL and FCL docs. All
in all, a 1.9Mb download for the lot.
