Offline documentation (html or pdf), possible?

[Harry]

Hello,

Can the full html or pdf documentation be provided with every stable Node release for offline viewing?

I can save the 'all.html' page from the browser but the index on the side (that lets me jump straight a section) continues to have online links in it. I cannot use wget -r either as not sure to what folder level I should descend.

Regards,
/HS

I'd love it so much much if Node shipped with man pages, so I could type "man node-fs" to get the fs man page. But I'm pretty sure I'd have to submit the pull request to make that happen :)

Try opening a feature request (via Github's issue tracker) at https://github.com/nodejs/docs/issues. They are a very active Working Group!

Good luck!

If you download a source tarball from https://nodejs.org/dist/, it has
the documentation in markdown format in the doc/api directory. You
can convert it to HTML with `make doc`, it will put it in out/doc.

Tried this tarball,
    https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v5.x/node-v5.9.1-linux-x64.tar.xz

but could not find any doc/api directory in it.

There are .md files such as:
      node-v5.9.1-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/npm/doc/cli/npm-bugs.md

[Jérémy Lal]

```

marked-man fs.markdown > fs.1

man ./fs.1

```

and the result is not so bad :)

That's a binaries-only tarball. You need a source tarball so the one
you want in this case is
https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.9.1/node-v5.9.1.tar.xz.

This is Linux binaries, not source code.
Source code - https://nodejs.org/dist/v5.9.1/node-v5.9.1.tar.gz
Documentation index ./node-v5.9.1/doc/api/index.html

(Ouch!)

Thank you, folks.
