The parser is stabilized, specs are improving. Nothing radical, no big 
addition, but some suggestions were implemented if you use the internal 
parser. Things like

oh you already did the work? I m refraining that until Helpiewer works 
out. The Dennis guide?
Just try it out with the internal parser.

Right now, I updated examples so they work better and represent beter 
the specifications.
Still, I think every project should have its own file, not a centralized 
help file repository.

Right now, HelpViewer uncovered an issue in libs-gui itself and it is 
hard, many weeks we are working on that, not easy at all. We are 
reviewing the code. Check PR #392 if you wish.
