I think keep the existing terse help in LTspice... Add web links
wherever necessary and clicking the web links will give examples,
simulations and pictures, etc.. As new problems get solved they could be
added under the appropriate heading..
Just a thought..

This help idea sounds great. I drafted a request to 'Panama Mike' on
this group, and copied that request to info@...
<mailto:info%40nuhorizons.com>, to copy and use scad3.pdf as a basis
for a linkable, expanded help section. Nearly all of the work
currently on the wiki can be linked to this help section, as well. If
we get permission, I'll disassemble the help file into a section on
the wiki that will serve as the stub. Hopefully others will then
amplify and illustrate this help as appropriate. I'll let the group
know when something is final on this request.
Any help link to assist others format their submissions would be
appreciated! Your submissions, analogspiceman, are outstanding by
anyone's measure... I found myself looking at your source code to see
how you did some of that stuff!
Best regards, Lewis

I found it much more difficult to find the specialized wiki
language help pages (most html also works at the wiki, by the
way). Perhaps I will add a direct link to the wiki help as well.
I don't think anyone needs to be a wiki language expert to start
contributing to the LTwiki as an author may just describe what the
appearance of their contribution should be and somebody else will
probably add the wiki polish if the underlying piece is compelling.
The most important thing is to write well, concise and clear.
There is a built-in editing tool set for the most common commands
(such as basic text formatting and the creation of hyperlinks),
so the mechanics of contributing soon become easy enough.
Perhaps we could set up a Help file replacement (many bits are
already in place). Many sections would likely mimic LTspice's
Help system and at least start out by heavily borrowing directly
on the existing Help, so I wonder if permission from LTC would be
required? If so, I think you be a more diplomatic choice than me
to ask Mike.
