Nyall Dawson 709c14391b Change expression help from free form html files to structured json
A new script then parses these json help files into the html help
contents, in a standardised manner. Previously, the function help
was a bunch of different formats and structures.

Now, a custom stylesheet can be applied (and later tweaked!) to
format these help. Eg, this commit colors variables and function
names in the syntax section for greater readability.
