I started a project for offline documentation for OpenEuphoria. I don't know/believe there is much interest in offline documentation ATM, so it's not likely to get a lot of love from me for a few weeks. But at that time, it will become fantanstic. Anyway, you can follow the project if you'd like. You can also download this chm file. It's somewhat useful, not pretty. I didn't try to make this official in anyway because I had to change the title of all 200+ Euphoria HTML pages. Otherwise, searching the CHM always showed the same link (OpenEuphoria: Euphoria v4.1) which wasn't very helpful.
Now, I'm switching gears to help out with Phix docs. Starting by adding keywords and such.
Me teaching Google how to crawl and index web pages feels a lot like me teaching Barrack Obama how to deliver a speech.
You're exactly right. Trying to teach either one of those two how to do thier job is silly. Instead, think of this in a different light. We're not trying to teach Google what's on the page. Google already knows that. We'll try and teach Google why it matters and additional vocabulary someone might use to find this information. (Eventually, maybe. That's up to you.)
But for now, I'm just adding vocabulary the Help Viewer can use to help find things devs might look for in the CHM documentation. Obviously biased to what I might look for. But, I have to start somewhere.
