The technology for web based help has evolved over time, need to see what is our best option. Nice thing is that our help system is encoded in a structured/semantic way. Don't recall what Li Ye did years ago, but probably a good time to consider newer solutions.

@jcschaff we have discussed this several times over the years. At one point Dan found a newer version of the java help we had used, but it never progressed beyond that.

Create a way to use the current documentation structure to automatically output an HTML file of the current Help version and deposit within the web site.

@AlexPatrie can you suggest small changes to HTML markup or CSS to improve our online help. Also - could generate markdown or other content which may be more search or LLM friendly.
