Re: Yelp Help

[Rob Adams <readams readams net>]

OK so the question now I guess is why do we even ship with the xml files
at all?  Why not simply pregenerate the files and just use the HTML?  It
seems pretty silly to have to know about and run a command to
pregenerate the files, since I think we can be fairly sure that few
users ever will.  Instead, they will do what I did and simply be
frustrated by how slow help is out of the box.
