I believe I used to be able to look at them simply by pasting them into the address bar of IE. I know I used to be able to view them SOMEhow.
Now, it seems I can't do anything with them!
Good call. I must've added those "addresses" while using XE7. I'm now using XE8.1.
maybe ALL the old links (that aren't "ms-help://") should still be good? Regardless of the version?
If I search for "conditional compilation XE8" I don't get either of the above.
Which makes the online help system a bit - um - off, does it not?
Also, many times when searching for offline help, the IDE gets "locked into" a specific CHM (Fmx for example) and further searches won't show the "intermediate" dialog that asks which <whatever> you're looking for (e.g. Fmx or Vcl or System). Which is a bit - um - off also. Is it not?
Is this the best I can do (and am I doing it right) as far as the online AND the offline help systems?
How much better (worse, different) is it when I jump to Seattle?
That is a link to an external website. That is good regardless of version.
good? Regardless of the version?
running on the local machine, they are not links to an external server.
Notice that "/Seattle" has been replaced with /XE8".
Notice that "/Seattle" has been removed.
Remy, Are you suggested that for most (all?) of these "version specific" links that there will ALSO be a version-neutral one?
