Bonjour mon ami,
Maybe this subject is off the topic of writing good ocaml code. Even Real World Ocaml does not seem to devote a single paragraph to the topic of developing a good end-user help system. The ocaml manual is an excellent example of self-documenting code. But I've most enjoyed reading Lucas Saiu code base in the project called Marionnet. There building a virtual network is no simple task. Without a good help system even the most abitious program is as useless as tits on a boar. In Marionnet there are seperate texi files that explain how to build and how to configure a virtual network lab. Would you say this is a better approach than using .chm help system in a program like Microsoft excel?
Thank you
