Hi.

There is no CustomHelp in Pharo 11 anymore. And no Help Browser in the menu.
What is the story behind it? Is there any new alternative?

Now any external {Project}-Help package is not loadable into the new system.

Regards,
Denis

yeah, CustomHelp was old and bad and we removed it.
better having nothing that a broken (and incomplete) tool.

anyway... eventually we will introduce the new document browser, and the idea is to externalize documentation.
