Overview of the Lazarus Documentation

Basically you should make a difference between the projects ((Free Pascal Project, Lazarus Project) and the used formats of the help (Online, html, chm, inf)

Free Pascal Project

Common
Free Pascal programming guide (prog.pdf, prog.chm, ... [online])
Free Pascal language referenz guide (ref.pdf, ref.chm, ... [online])
Free Pascal user guide (user.pdf, user.chm, ... [online])
Development Tutorial (buildfaq.pdf, [online])
Runtime Library
Runtime library (rtl.pdf, rtl.chm, ... [online])
Free components reference
Reference for package fcl (fcl.pdf, fcl.chm [online])
Programs
Free Pascal code documenter FPDoc (fpdoc.pdf, fpdoc.chm, ... [online])

Lazarus Project

Lazarus Komponenten Bibliothek
Reference for package lcl (lcl.chm, ...[online], Wiki LCL)

Installation of the help in Lazarus

Online Help

Is not to install. If a connection to the internet is available, you can use it with F1 (or CtrlF1 - depends on the configuration). If offline help is installed and the topic is available, so the offline will be used first, then the online help.
