I do not say the final form will be custom script
To give you info about how I work around the situation with TBGL help file:
I use ASCII format to specify documentation for keywords -> translator to HTML -> HTML help workshop to compile it.
All it takes to maintain the docs is usually:
- edit the text file for given topic(s)
- click make_all script, which recompiles everything to HTML and launches HTML Help Workshop tool
The advantage of having all data in neutral format + converter is independence on given tool. If one day Microsoft stops supporting CHM help files, I can adjust it to generate another format with less pain, than de-constructing the HTML files.
I think I could open at least this part easily during summer, allowing you to propose changes via Pull requests. Sounds good?

Yes, exactly. It has text form, so the difference is easily visible.
Thanks to GitHub Actions, an Windows agent could be spinned, publishing new version of the adjusted help file (this is not verified, but would like to have).
