I just finished implementing support for man pages in the help plugin, and it seems to be working fine so far.
Configuration looks like this:

And man page like this:
(http://ceniza666.googlepages.com/man02.png)
You can also specify more than one path for man pages (e.g. man:/usr/share/man;/usr/local/share/man;/another/dir/with/man/pages) if you want/need to.
It searches for man pages recursively (be careful with this), and it handles plain text, gz and bz2.
I still need to test it on Windows, update the project files and commit the changes (BerliOS is down ATM). Right now, it's only configured to be compiled using autotools.
I hope you find it useful (when I be able to commit it).
Hi Cenzia,
I did not know that the Help Plugin support different protocols like http (Google search)
http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=$(keyword)&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
Finding out that, I came to new ideas. I have different headers that are included in a my project. For these headers exist a html documentation. So it would be great to select e.g. mydef/asc0.h in the editor
and jump to e.g. firefox
file:///<envar>/html/$(keyword)tml
But the help plugin does not know how to handle the file:/// protocol. Is there a easy way to support that feature. I would appreciate, because my controller has 2000 registers and so it is helpful to get quick the documentation to a header file.
