Good idea; as long as they can be as easily edited as on the wiki... but
we already had this discussion, so let's not repeat ourselves ;)

If you take versioning as matching a certain Laz version with a certain
help document, I do agree, but that would need to be done for FPC as
well, IIUC.
As for the version control interpretation of versioning (the one I think
you mean): no comments except a reference to our earlier discussion on
this point...

What happens if you do add it to ref.kwd with the caution that it works
only with objfpc & Delphi modes?

Ok, it will give false positives in procedures and TP code, but that may
be better than not giving any help.
Anyway, I'll leave it up to you experts ;)

Neither did I before I got some patches in ;) Also, I wasn't singling
you out here, just promoting these mantis issues hoping somebody is
interested.... and showing that offline help also needs improvement.

Oh & thanks for the LCL.CHM ;)
