"""
Provide tools to access the FreeCAD documentation.
The main usage is using the "show" function. It can retrieve an URL,
a local file (markdown or html), or find a page automatically from
the settings set under Preferences->General->Help.
It doesn't matter what you give, the system will recognize if the contents are
HTML or Markdown and render it appropriately.
Basic usage:
import Help
Help.show("Draft Line")
Help.show("Draft_Line") # works with spaces or underscores
Help.show("https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Draft_Line")
Help.show("https://gitlab.com/freecad/FreeCAD-documentation/-/raw/main/wiki/Draft_Line.md")
Help.show("/home/myUser/.FreeCAD/Documentation/Draft_Line.md")
Help.show("http://myserver.com/myfolder/Draft_Line.html")
Preferences keys (in "User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Mod/Help"):
optionBrowser/optionTab/optionDialog (bool): Where to open the help dialog
optionOnline/optionOffline (bool): where to fetch the documentation from
URL (string): online location
Location (string): offline location
Suffix (string): a suffix to add to the URL, ex: /fr
StyleSheet (string): optional CSS stylesheet to style the output
Defaults are to open the wiki in the desktop browser
