Make context and regular help behave the same over all plugins

[simlei]

The context and online help across all plugins does not work or work the same way across all plugins.

Problems are:

• The context help does not "connect" to the view the same way when the context help window is already open. With some plugins, is needed to make the help view show the plugin's context help. Some times the help view switches to the plugin's context help automatically, which is the desired state. Some times, there is no context help, or the wrong one.
• In a few cases, there is no online help or only a stub.
• With some plugins, there is a toolbar button in the view's toolbar which serves as key to bring up the context help. With some plugins, it is missing.
• In many online help documents, the images do not scale with the page width. Scaling with the page width is the desired state.
• The external links in some online help documents do not work correctly across all OS, and in some cases, on no OS at all. With this problem, some documentation of the behavior across all OS could save time by finding out the correct way to do external and internal links, and test that it works across the target operating systems one more time. Then replace <a ...></a> tags across the repository. Please gather information about this with examples in the pertinent comment.

Below is a summary of the plug-ins w.r.t. the above mentioned points which I tested minus the issue with <a ...></a>. Clone this for the rest of the plugins, then fix all at once.

Algorithm browser focus w.r.t. context help

If an algorithm, visual etc. registers context help, the algorithm browser loses focus on selection. This causes problems e.g. when using the algorithm browser in "popped out" side window, as it disappears on focus loss. It is hardly ideal in normal view too, as multiple double clicks may be needed to open the desired view.

Links

External and internal links behavior

It seems that the behavior differs between different domains. This seems to be due to inclusion in iframes of the online help browser and the domain's preference in that regard.

Goal: complete the <positive/negative>-result-for- list. Negative examples are required to test whether our measures cover every case

Link behavior on simple click

Positive examples:

Linux/GTK3

• SSL/TLS handshake, Verifiable Secret Sharing

  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security</a>

Windows, external link

• Plugin name

OS/X, external

Negative examples

Linux/GTK3

• SSL/TLS handshake, Verifiable Secret Sharing

  <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt">http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2246.txt</a>

OS/X

Link behavior on context menu -> open in new window

• this seems to at least behave similarly on Linux/GTK3 across all links: internal, external, ...: a window (shell) of size zero opens, which is not visible anywhere: [1]
• Windows / OSX?

closing as this is almost fully addressed now. Link behavior is tracked in another issue
