Of course in case of helm availability. You can add the helm source definition to howdoi and a function howdoi-helm query which in the first lines requires the needed helm packages and the calls helm with howdoi. If the user has helm installed then it works seamlessly and if he doesn't then he'll get an error message saying helm cannot be loaded, so he knows helm should be installed. > Also in general transformed answers looks much more > better then before. (I keep going without any third party > dependencies). According to the first line of this emacswiki page emacs 24.4 has a html renderer built-in. You could check its availability and fall back to your own solution if it's not available: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/HtmlRendering‎ I haven't tried it, but I guess it covers a lot of cases which can occur in HTML docs.
