I forgot to mention - it is easily possible to convert such .fodt's
to .xhp offline, without using LibreOffice.  You need only xsltproc and
the filter from dev-tools:

[git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/contrib/dev-tools]

cd dev-tools
xsltproc helpauthoring/filter/soffice2xmlhelp.xsl helpfile.fodt > helpfile.xhp

All the best,
