Now the Helm documents are available in info format. The texi2html pages are available on Helm's official website. https://emacs-helm.github.io/helm/doc/index.html The documentation is in Org format and TexInfo manuals are created using ox-texinfo.el, so learning texinfo shouldn't be a barrier to improving the current documentation. I would be very happy if you could _give prominence_ to the availability of official Helm manuals and put out a call for new contributors to helping improve the existing documentation. A popular project like Helm deserve better documentation. ---------------- I was exploring Helm and I found that the documentation could be improved. So I took some time to revamp the existing Helm documents, and add additional information to it. I have done much of the heavy lifting needed to produce the info documents. In the process, I have knocked out 4-5 bugs in the ox-texinfo.el. I hope to return to improving the helm docs. In the meanwhile I hope others could move it forward. Thanks in advance.
