That Freakin' Manual 1.1 is out.. Classical Software released version 1.1 of TFM today. 1.1 is a misnomer -- it is easily a 1.5, if not a 2.0 kind of jump over 1.0.

TFM is like DL, but much, much better. Not only does TFM provide awesome indexing based navigation tools, but it also provides an excellent hierarchical navigation scheme for browing/navigating the documentation. For Java and Objective-C classes, TFM presents a hierarchy of all classes and provides inheritance based navigation if desired.

(I must admit partiality to TFM 1.1 -- the author was kind enough to provide me with some early betas and much of the feedback I gave appears in 1.1. :-)

I highly recommend downloading TFM and spending some time with it.

Ob-Python: I grabbed the Python documentation HTML tarball and dropped it into a new TFM document. It works brilliantly. I can be editing python code, select an expression/function, copy-to-pasteboard, and select the "Search in Python Documentation" menu item from TFM's dock menu (or services menu). TFM finds what I wanted just about ever time! [bbum's rants, code & references]

Wow! This sounds very, very cool and definitely would be useful!!
