Is there some easy way to write Context Help in LabVIEW such that it’s more enjoyable?
(EDIT: Not in original question, but I believe synonyms of “more enjoyable” could be richer, prettier, more unique, etc.)

I would like to include more information such as pictures, charts, or even text with different types of fonts but I did not find a useful manual on the net.

    Are you looking for more than something like this? I believe this is as rich of a Context Help that you can achieve for your SubVIs.

    enter image description here

    You may want to look into Creating and Editing VI Descriptions so that you’re at least including a useful Description in your SubVIs. Quoting an answer on this NI forum thread, I list a few things that should be included in your SubVIs:

    1. General: (VI name, Version #, Date coded, Author).
    2. Description: (paragraph that summarizes its overall functionality).
    3. Specifics: (detailed sub paragraphs that specify unique or complex code).
    4. Misc: (data type input/outputs, unique conditions for the vi to work, limitations, etc.).

    Lastly, I point to this old but useful LabVIEW Development Guidelines, also referenced in the above thread. See Chapter 5 – Creating Documentation.
