No I didn't. There is a helpsystem (for all help) abstraction inside
Lazarus. docview bypasses that. This means that having docview and
some other helpfile type can't be searched together, while in the case of
CHM it can.

I'm not sure that is a good thing though.

The wiki help used to be downloadable using a tool, but that failed after a
wiki engine update (or some other anti-bot/spam measure in the
engine/webserver)

Otherwise I would have already transformed the help into CHM.
