Hi Markus, I hope you don't mind if I CC the dev ML too - I think it is good to share this :-)

So the big picture is that I want to get rid of the 'own' LibreOffice help browser, and instead use whatever is the 'standard' on this or that platform. To get there, we must be able to generate offline help for Windows, Linux (Gnome and KDE mainly), and Mac OSX. So far we are able to generate Docbook (this should be usable on Linux) and Windows native help using: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/help/tree/wiki-to-help/README I have no real idea what is used on MacOSX, unfortunately :-( In order to be able to test the wiki-to-help thing, you need a wiki dump. I have one here: http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~kendy/for_timo/wikihelp-dump.xml.bz2 You want to strip it to just few articles for testing first :-) Things to solve: - test if / how well it converts the pages - I tested that briefly, it worked well enough to be able to pass the student, but did not do any deep investigation - move the extended tooltips out of the help - they are the <ahelp>...</ahelp> tags in the help, git grep for the usage in the help repo - as Caolan pointed out, the best would be to move them out of help (to .ui or .src); the catch is that we must do it so that the translators do not have to translate it twice - once for the help, 2nd time for the .ui/.src. Andras - any ideas there, please? - the MacOSX help - no idea how it is done, but hopefully we'll be able to convert Docbook to that - help indexes - currently the help id's are done as wikihelp redirects to the page. This has to be translated to some kind of index that is usable runtime to point directly to the right paragraph in the help. > I'm very much looking forward to the point when wikihelp is the > primary help Me too - any help from you, or anybody else is greatly appreciated! :-) Please let me know if you have any further questions; I hope I did not forget much.
