The New Delphi 8 Help System

Intermediate-level programmer; haven't messed with Pascal since TP6.0.Question: There is something wrong with my help system in Delphi 8 update 2. There are no help topics for (at least) basic stuff like ReadLn, WriteLn, Str, Val, StrLCat. They are mentioned in passing, in other topics, but they don't have a page for themselves to describe syntax & other details.I also can't find any docs for ShellAPI calls like ShellExecute.CodeInsight brings up parameter lists for all of the above.I have uninstalled & reinstalled hoping that whatever was missing would be installed. No good. Any ideas???

re: The New Delphi 8 Help System

Hi Matora:I'm not familiar with a native .NET XML documentation format other than the XML documentation file that the C# compiler can generate containing source code comments for further processing.For Delphi for .NET, the compiler can output comments and much more from the IDE menu: Project | Options | Compiler | Generate XML Documentation. Alternatively, you can access XML comments via the command line using the --doc switch:C:\> dccil --doc [mylibrary]Where [mylibrary] is your source code. The output will be an xml file of the same name with an .xml extension. The output file contains a wealth of information in addition to the comments. We use this same output to generate syntax lines and PME lists in the new D8 Help system.You could potentially transform the output XML to an alternative format of your choosing, whether HTML or something else. While I have not studied the following option deeply, I believe you could extract out the subset of information to the same format that the C# compiler generates, then pipe this file out to NDoc.We are currently investigating XML Doc output solutions for the next release of Delphi.

Hello.BDS XML documentation file is different form the native .NET XML documentation format.a) Does BDS supports generation MS.NET XML documentation files based on writing tagged comments in source code like in MS C#?b) If not, then how to document Delphi code with BDS XML documentation? Does your XSLT files available for Delphi users?
