XYplorer help and Guidance

First off I would like to give special thanks to XYwiki - it really is a superb document with clarity. Without this, it would be difficult to appreciate the many features,big and small contained within XY. Thanks Jacky.

Now, is it possible to have a self-contained XYwiki file that resides in the XYplorer folder so that it can be an integral part of the help file but portable - ie. stand-alone no internet connection required to read the wiki.

I think, if this was possible, and acceptable it might be a complete replacement for the current Help files. Having two sources of help can be confusing and the presentation of the wiki is more readable.

Last, appreciation to Don who seems to come up with features beyond wishes, I do hope there are lots more to come though, thanks.

Personally, I'd like to have both the wiki and help locally as the help gives the true viewpoint of just Don while the wiki reflects the view of the gang...and sometimes having both makes it clearer what the real answer is.

Or probably somebody can mirror the XYwiki site and provide it offline and update it every month? I wonder how big the wiki site is, since it is so rich with information. just a thought.

I think there are tools around that allows websites to be exported to chm.

Edit:

Otherwise you can use a tool like MetaProducts Inquiry or the free Scrapbook in Firefox to capture single pages offline. In MetaProducts Inquiry you can export to chm and I think there are an add-on to Scrapbook which exports to chm.
