Will there ever be a documentation for Lazarus and/or Freepascal in
CHM format?

By the way, I tried to find the freepascal documentation source bu I
could not find it.
Can anyone tell me how is it made? with DocBook?
Is the source of documentation available?

And to answer the other old questions...

Q: Where is the documentation source?
A: It is in a SubVersion repository:
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcdocs/trunk

Q: In what format is it written?
A: The Language Reference documentation is written in LaTeX. The RTL
and FCL class documentation is written in a XML format and processed
by fpdoc. All documentation can be output to multiple formats: TXT,
PDF, CHM, INF, HTML etc.
