What is Delphi Knowledge Base?
================
Delphi Knowledge Base is a unique collection of Delphi
tips and articles where Delphi programmers can find ideas, solutions
and share their experience. Everyone of us occasionally experience
what it is when you can not find the right way of solving the
problem and how much time it takes. But have you ever thought that
maybe thousands of people already had this kind of problem and
solved it successfully? So the main idea of this program is that
you can find the article you need and also share your articles
with other users via the Internet. This exchange helps to expand
the program and to enrich it with new articles every day. 
The program enables user to browse articles that are already
existing in a data base and to add new ones. Articles are
formatted so that they could be copied and pasted right
into your program.

    • basic or advanced article search;
    • ability to search for exact phrase or any keywords;
    • ability to search for word in article keywords or title and text;

    • found articles are displayed in the grid with sorting
      abilities and full article information;
    • highlighting of keywords in search results;
    • viewing articles in normal, page or full page layout;
    • exporting articles to Portable Document Format (PDF)
      or other formats like HTML, Rich Text format, Text file and etc.;
    • using print preview and print function similar to MS Word;
