[Lazarus] Help for your applications

I used to be a fan of CHM because of the single file concept, but now use HTML help (http://wiki.freepascal.org/Add_Help_to_Your_Application) because it very easy to pimp up plus every machine (no need to worry about the OS platform) has a web browser installed - no need to install viewers. Plus, if I ever wanted my applications to point at help hosted on my server(s), it would not take much since it's already in the required format!
I use "Help & Manual" and generate both help and PDF docs in one go from the same source - am extremely happy with it. I haven't tried any other competing products, though...

Hi,

When writing help files and documentation for your apps, what are peoples preferences?
