Once path is set, you may press Alt+F1 to display associated help for actual word (e.g. if you edit HTML code and cursor is on the "body" word, after Alt+F1 help for HTML syntax is opened and you will see context for "body" keyword). In Multi-Highlighter, the called help depends on the part of code you are in.
