How does one usually go about finding documentation related to Pascal? Does one need to download a package from https://packages.lazarus-ide.org/ and view its documentation from there?


The Lazarus IDE has built-in help. Apart from that you can get component-specific documentation as well.

Freepascal Runtime Library documentation: https://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.io/docs/rtl/

Lazarus Component Library: https://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.io/docs/lcl/

Freepascal Component Library: https://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.io/docs/fcl/

Freepascal Wiki: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Documentation

Something else I should have added in my original comment: Lazarus has a very capable built-in debugger.

That is invaluable if you want to step through and understand how things work.

EDIT: Other sites:

Some demo projects here: https://www.getlazarus.org/

The Transmission Bittorrent GUI client was done in Lazarus: https://sourceforge.net/projects/transgui/

Other apps done in Lazarus from the Lazarus website shown by category: https://wiki.freepascal.org/Projects_using_Lazarus
