HelpViewer - Was Re: GAP repo mirror on git...

Hi Patrick

you missed the biggest user-side change, but that is good because it 
means it is non-obtrusive and didn't cause havoc.

Good, I didn't explicitely work on these, but apparently the parser 
changes were of benefit for you.

Yes, that was explicitely worked on. UTF-8 is now standard but you can 
also specify the encoding, check the Test.help example

You don't need to, if installed and latest gui (perhaps only GIT master, 
I don't remember) it will automatically recognize help files, RTF is the 
built-in fallback
