Oh, and in Lazarus even. Looks pretty solid.

Probably could be easily modified to output CHM. Thing is, I reacted a bit quick. CHM is particularly good if you have a big index that you use a lot (e.g. context info in the IDE or context sensitive help). RBIL has multiple indexes etc, and keyword based help is not very useful.

That would mean it would be hard to integrate in IDEs with the standard support, and you'd need extensions.
