A chm is basically a bunch of html files zipped. Therefore it is
better to create the chm from the html, not from wiki to fpdoc to html
to chm.
wikiconvert can create the chm directly.

BTW, have you seen wikisearchdemo?
It demonstrates how to load the whole wiki in less than a second
(depending on your disk speed) and search it in milliseconds.
Maybe this could be extended as an IDE plugin to browse the offline
wiki.

Ah. I fixed it to <fpdoc-description>.

Strange. I get <package name="wiki"./>

I asked you 18th Feb 2012 what could be wrong with the xml. Apparently
we both didn't see the missing "-description". ;)

But it will not work, because fpdoc currently only shows descriptions of
units, it does not show topics without units. This would require an
extension to fpdoc. For example Michael suggested:

--emit-all-modules="Wiki Topic"
 or simply
--emit-all-modules=Topic
