I was mulling this over while thinking about how to use Faq-O-Matic for the contextual help. Was leaning towards making a new table in MySQL and populating it with a help_id, URL table. Seemed to be the most flexible since I could point to the html docs, URLs for the Faq-O-Matic links or even to some HTML links for help in a non-English HTML document at some point in the future without touching the perl code. Admin code update the links via the web interface eventually (perhaps even pointing to bmo hosted documentation) and though the IDs would get cast in stone, new ids are cheap.<BR>

How about a parameter called documentbase with default values "docs/"
that can be cleared to disable the links or can be pointed to bmo's copy??
The biggest issue I can see is making sure that the right page/anchor
combination gets loaded. Should there be a cgi that serves up the right
document section for each link? Othewise, the code has to know what
filename contains each anchor.
