No problem. It's good if you are working with FLTK.

You don't say exactly if you mean including the chapter about fluid or
not. If you ask me I'd not recommend to spend too much time on fluid. It
can be difficult to do it right and it's (IMHO) better to understand the
code and how to program it first before you try to use fluid. OTOH fluid
can be a nice tool to layout your widgets. YMMV.

Sure. The difference is that installling the docs on the FLTK server is
done manually and somebody needs to do it (that somebody is me). I did
not yet automate the process, and doing it daily would be overkill. And
before you ask: this server is limited (not so much in resources but in
installed software) so that automatically creating the docs /on the
server/ is currently not possible.
BTW: FLTK 1.3 docs are updated with each new release, the next update
will be with 1.3.6.
"The GitLab mirror" means the GitHub source repository mirror on GitLab
(two different hosters). On GitLab we created a CI build job that builds
software for testing the HTML docs as well (but no PDF) and installs the
docs on a tiny web page which you can see. Hence the docs are built and
published "daily" (effectively even more often than once per day).
Last but not least: please try not to top-post here in this group and
trim the citation to the part you refer to in your answer. This is the
style we're trying to use here in fltk.general and fltk.coredev for
better reading and understanding. Thanks.
