Something to consider: Qt has a facility called Qt-Assistant for help. It's very similar to what is called a HelpBook in Windows. (That very familiar layout with the table of contents on the left side for quick access, also searching. Even Acrobat Reader uses that look and feel.) I just used Qt-Assistant for the gnuplot Qt terminal. The Octave help code would need to be translated to the Qt-Assistant format and bundled, but it doesn't prove too difficult. There are a few commands for Qt code to interact with the Qt-Assistant, say, jumping to certain locations in help as directed by the code in the GUI. Just letting you know that's an option.
