OK, now I understand what you want to do. 

But beware that:

* This online help is automatically *generated* from the wiki contents by 
using "wget" and a few magic file and HTML link renaming because of bugs in 
the way wget handles that.

* The online help is not used anymore by the Gambas 3 IDE. It will be removed 
from the source package, as it takes a lot of bytes. This is the reason why I 
asked you why not writing directly in the wiki.

* Moreover, who will translate your documentation if it is not in the wiki?
