Good idea. Tangentially, that reminds me of one of the features of git  
that I like [I know, I'm forced to use it at work] — you can configure  
it to open its help in a web browser, so "git help commit" comes up as  
a full web page. This gives a lot of room for formatting, supports  
hyperlinks between commands, and also stays out of the way of my  
terminal session, so I can still see my previous commands and can  
leave the help window open for reference.

Has anyone thought of adding this to Mercurial?
