Hi Jonathan,

I prefer to focus on what is possible, and the cyclone patches are for
pd-extended/pd-l2ork anyhow. Hyperlinks are cool, but there can be a
downside; maybe someone creates a pd-based exploit ;-).

Maybe some smart scripting could do this properly. Added it to the todo
list. This would mean we can build rich help-patches for
pd-extended/pd-l2ork and automatically strip them down to be
vanilla-compliant.
Is there a description of the file format somewhere?

We have them in other forks like pd-extended and pd-l2ork. Lets
concentrate on making those better and more accessible. A lot of good pd
forks have died because of the focus on getting their features in
pd-vanilla.
But enough of this. For now, I'll prefer to spend my sparse free time on
learning pd and improve help-patches. It is more constructive and more fun.
