I would be willing to grab help files and to organise them if there
was a way to add them under the help menu (to make everything more
organised). I would also be willing to work on templates. I'm glad
to see the project is back and I would be glad to help
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi Eric, good luck finding RTL help files for MinGw or TDM-GCC ... Probably the best option is to use the C and C++ library documentation on MSDN (since it uses msvcrt). But I do agree there is a need for good CHM based helpfiles here. But they don't seem to exist.
Creating these files is not trivial. It will require parsing and converting hundreds of MAN pages that are distributed with the MinGW sources. I'm willing to chip in a bit, when time permits... but it is a truly daunting task.

The GNU C Library Reference Manual (CHM, HTML) is for the compiler that Dev-C++ uses, GCC.
There's also the Cpp_manpages (CHM DevPak, CHM source, HTML) which more-generally document the C++ language.
