[Gambas-user] [Feature Request] Offline Documentation

[Randall Morgan]

Couldn't this be done simply running a simple web server as localhost on an
unused port and downloading the site using a site copier like HTTtrack for
the local version. Then simply allowing user to choose online or offline
documentation via a menu item that simply choose the real domain or
localhost:<port> ?

Sounds like it would be rather simple to implement as a starting point for
off line docs. The user could then choose to update the local docs with a
site copier or one could be written in Gambas or python to allow the docs
to be updated.  That would mean there would be no overhead for the
documentation developers and only a onetime development effort for the
local server.

Just thinking out loud here....

If you ask me if it can be done. The answer is YES, it can always be done.
The correct questions however are... What will it cost, and how long will
it take?
