The file F1Jockey
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=f1
Has all the things you mentioned except pretty_print.

What I prefer is the help format with the find feature to the HTML format.
It would just open up a small little window on top of the full screen Edita
for quick refference.

I suppose it wouldn't be very hard for me to add another menuitem to the Edita
help menu and have it point to that file.
