Description Jeff Johnston CLA 2010-10-25 16:54:16 EDT 
Currently, devhelp documentation is loaded for various libraries that use gtk-doc documentation.  It is possible to parse this documentation and form libhover libraries that could be stored locally.  This could either be started manually by the user (e.g. a dialog to show the various devhelp docs available and then a program would parse) and thereby be dynamically updated when the libraries are updated or else the regular libhover plugin model could be used whereby the docs are created in advance and documentation may or may not be up to date.

The docs would have to be parsed in advance to ensure quick access time during the hover event.
