+================================================================================
++all:
+    Online doc format changed to PDF format.
+    This is **very** easier to handle, because :
+    - Openoffice has a very good pdf export function.
+    - Only one file for application
+    - Is standart (The old html format used a zipped archive, not standart)
+    - the doc tree is less complex (see doc/help/fr or doc/help/en for the new tree).
+    
+    If a localized doc file is not found, the english version is automatically loaded instead.
+    No need to copy the same pdf file in subdirectory.
+
