FYI, I am documenting the FCL in a new tool that will generate high-quality
HTML for on-line viewing as well as LaTeX for printing
(and hence PDF and the like as well);

I recognize the need for online (i.e. HTML) docs; I just don't consider
the current HTML docs as representative, and I won't consider any bugs
in them.

If you're interested in the new 'style' of HTML docs, look at
  http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/classes/index.html
This is a preview only, and not the final version.
(turn on CSS when reading them)

If we get the latex support working before the 1.0.4 release, we'll put
in the FCL docs as well. But don't take that as a promise...

Michael.
