Online documentation

An official online version of the XYplorer documentation would be very useful.
Besides easier sharing and AI-assisted scripting, it would also allow dark mode and online translation, which the local CHM doesn’t support.

If XYplorer could work in a similar way to AutoHotkey’s documentation, that would be better.

I suppose it would be a piece of cake for an AI to create something like this right from the CHM. (But is it necessary? Wouldn't you rather ask the AI directly? Well, I know, the planet...)

For me it’s mainly about dark mode.

AI tools can’t read CHM files directly. I can extract the CHM and let an AI help adjust colors, but every time the docs are updated I have to redo and maintain those changes myself.

Having official online documentation would solve this properly. It would not only make dark mode, translation, and accessibility easier for users, but also allow most AI tools to learn the correct XYplorer scripting syntax instead of guessing.

.. and if you are lazy like me, you'll use the same extracted html files for maaany versions.. :oops:
