No such API exists (that I know of), but the desire to integrate the FPC, LCL, fpGUI and any other API documentation into other IDE's and Programming Editors has existed for over a decade (by me at least). I also needed the requirement of having the help available offline, because I often worked in locations with no internet access. I'm of the rare breed of developers that actually reads documentation. ;-) That's why I invested months of research in various help formats and eventually spent over a year developing a help viewer that could easily integrate into IDE's and Editors, and even be used from the command line or via IPC calls. The help viewer is now the default help viewer of fpGUI, and is called DocView. It used the INF help format (initially developed by IBM), which is extremely compact, really fast, supports full text search. DocView takes full advantage of all that and can concatenate multiple help files and their Tables of Content at runtime, supports advanced searching, bookmarks, inline annotation and more.
