There are advantages and disadvantages to having online help systems/wiki. The main disadvantage is that you have to be online to use it. If you are away from home and don't want to access possibly dodgy wifi, you are stumped!
I always try to produce a .chm and/or pdf help file, even though it means a lot of hard work copying and pasting and frequently adjusting text and format. I was doing this so often that I decided to buy a copy of HelpNDoc Professional (using birthday and Christmas present money - it's a bit pricy). It's been a good investment for me because I can use its editor to produce both .chm and pdf versions with ease.
I have started to develop the QB64 Phoenix Wiki using HelpNDoc and the following links are where I have got at present. There is a long way to go. I'm currently doing it as an hospital job, but if there is sufficent interest I will spend more time on it.
Links: CHM https://www.dropbox.com/s/46mukxbyfgpj5n...i.chm?dl=0
(after downloading right click on the file in Explorer, then Proprties and Unblock)
PDF https://www.dropbox.com/s/6zktrvlt1p7rlx...i.pdf?dl=0
I hope some will find it of interest.
