+Description
+-----------
+
+Devhelp is a developer tool for browsing and searching API documentation.
+It provides an easy way to navigate through libraries and to search by
+function, struct, or macro.
+
+The documentation must be installed locally, so an internet connection is
+not needed to use Devhelp.
-https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Devhelp
+Devhelp works natively with the documentation generators used by the GNOME
+project libraries. Other development platforms can be supported as well, as
+long as the API documentation is available in HTML and a `*.devhelp2` index
+file is generated.
+
+Devhelp integrates with other applications such as Glade, Builder or
+Anjuta, and plugins are available for different text editors (gedit, Vim,
+Emacs, Geany, …).
