I am looking to render SQL code on my webpage. I am making tutorials and i would like to display SQL snippets to my visitors. Are there some librairies out there or best practices to do that?
Since this is StackOverflow I will recommend the one that StackExchange is using - Google's Code Prettify library, which supports SQL.
You would have to include the library to your site:
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/google/code-prettify/master/loader/run_prettify.js"></script>
And then write your example
<pre class="prettyprint">
SELECT name FROM users;
</pre>
Usually when you want to neatly display code on a webpage, CSS isn't enough. If you want more sophisticated code coloring and formatting, you'll most likely need to write javascript in order to detect keywords, values strings etc. Luckily with the dev community being what it is, there are already options to do this for many different languages. I'd recommend SyntaxHighlighter as it offers support for many languages, it's easy to use and customize.

I've been searching lately for different way to present a user manual that is easy to use and understand.
At first, I tought that the Microsoft Help files would be great, since I knew my way around basic HTML. Little did I knew that Microsoft Help Workshop was a bit more complicated than simply taking HTML and processing it. I had multiple problem while trying to ajust the different styles and classes applied to my HTML.
What would be the best tool to use to convert an existing HTML project (HTML, CSS and basic Javascript) to a compiled .CHM file?
If it is not possible, what option would be worth exploring when making maintainable user manuals?
Thanks.
I would explore using pandoc to convert your html or markdown to docbook or pdf, or any of 100s of other formats.
There are various tools available to do that. Few noteworthy are: nDoc or DocBook or FAR HTML or doxygen or Microsoft's SandCastle

we are planning to write our software documentation in Markdown, but to provide a clickable webview we need to convert the Markdown documents to a nice looking set of HTML pages.
In our workflow we tend to write the documentation and deliver the documenation together with the sourcecode and binaries to our clients. I found a lot off 1-page convert to html programs, but i am wondering if there is a good converter that takes markdown pages and styling elements and is able to convert that to a workable site, including navigation elements such as sub-pages etc?
Is this an end-user documentation or an API-documentation for developers?
For first case I'd suggest looking at Wiki software with Markdown support.
For second case, you should really mention which programming language.
You should check out Gollum. It's the software that powers Github's wikis. It converts a git repository of text files into a wiki.
Here is a blog that introduces several tools that maintain documentation with Markdown. ScreenSteps seems to fit you the best.

Could you please recommend free Prototype libraries or plugins for the simple creation and management of web overlays?
We're using this one (http://kammerer.boo.pl/code/prototype-overlay/), but it seems to have trouble with forms (unless we're doing something wrong).
There are a ton of free ones for JQuery, but there seem to be very few free, high-quality ones for Prototype. (Yes, yes, we need to eventually adopt JQuery.)
Thanks!
I don't have a specific library for you but try looking for 'prototype modal' rather than overlay. Looks like there are a number of them.
It turns out we did something wrong with the overlay. The one we're using is still the best for Prototype (http://kammerer.boo.pl/code/prototype-overlay/), but we actually plan to migrate to jQuery eventually.

Has anyone come across any open-source projects that take RSS feeds and display then in newspaper style layouts?
I'm not sure if this question is appropriate for SO. if it isn't — my apologies.
Try sux0r. It parses rss feeds, classifies them and display them.
I haven't found an open-source project that does this but i've stumbled accross bit and pieces which can be used in conjunction with each other to create this.
For the client side layout, one could achieve this by using jqMasonry.
For the server side stuff, one could use any feed parsing library. e.g Python has feed parser

I'm looking for a library or a collection of libraries that work together with the following requirements:
HAML and SASS can be used.
Have a small server capability to see HAML/SASS compiled every time I refresh my browser. (I don't want to start a fresh Rails app, though.)
Works with popular CSS frameworks. (Doesn't have to be all, but major ones like 960gs and Blueprint)
Compass seems to be promissing, but it doesn't seem to support HAML. At least I'm looking for information that make Compass and HAML together.
Edit chriseppstein gave the list of cool stuff. I'll make a link to each one.
http://staticmatic.rubyforge.org/
http://github.com/tdreyno/middleman
http://nanoc.stoneship.org/
http://webby.rubyforge.org/user-manual/
http://github.com/jlong/serve
There are several of these:
staticmatic
middleman
nanoc
webby
All of these support haml and sass and can be easily configured to work with compass too.
Additionally, there is "serve", which is just a simple webserver.
I use Prepros, and I'm satisfied with it.
