Hi,
I write a Lisp (LispWorks) application. Now I am at a point where I want to
integrate a handbook/help system.
Do you have any suggestions how I could provide online help - preferrably
platform independent with low overhead?

html pages? A simple capi interface or menu could launch the user's web
browser with the first of a set of interlinked pages.

Minor variation, integrate HTML display in CAPI windows.
Should be possible on the Mac for example with Apple's Webkit.

If you decide to go this route - capi + Webkit, drop me an email - I
have some code that does this already.

Great, where do we put the directory with Lispworks hacks,
like we used to have with MCL?

So far people have just been posting them to the lisworks-hug list ;^)

There is a LispWorks FTP directory for contributions, btw.
But Digitool was more successful harvesting the users
for contributions they could put on the CDROM
and on the FTP site.

Btw., I took your Webkit for LispWorks code and here is
a screenshot:
http://lispm.dyndns.org/lisp/pics/webkit-in-lispworks.jpg
Beware that the image is a bit largish and my
upload rate is not that overwhelming. If you
have a smaller screen ;-), you might want
to scale the image a bit for optimal viewing.
It shows the dynamically generated documentation
of CL-HTTP in a browser window in LispWorks.
The CL-HTTP server runs in the same LispWorks
image.
It even runs in LispWorks Personal. Nice.

Cool - I'm glad you find it useful.

That's a serious monitor you have got there.

Almost. It is a 30" Apple Cinema HD display.
Connected to a MacBook Pro laptop.
I have thought long before buying it, but when
prices came down I ordered one.

Thanks Raffael and Rainer,
after googling a bit, I decided to go this way and make something roughly
equivalent to the LispWorks help (HTML).
