    Thank you for making these. Though I’m on a Mac, I use them for nice and easy searching in the docs. I just wish there was a better CHM viewer. Chamonix is ok but fairly slow and a bit buggy at times.

    I wonder how hard it would be to convert these docs into OS X’s Help Viewer formats. That would be really nice.

    @Per ~ I like the idea of getting the document into the native OS X Help Viewer format. I’ve looked a bit into what it might take to make this happen, and I hope to have something posted soon.

    Sounds great. I actually did it once with the Ruby documentation. But I didn’t write down the steps or even attempt to automate it. But it works fairly well and I have used them for a long time (as Ruby’s docs don’t change as much as Rails’). I seem to remember it was mainly a matter of moving a few files around and manually editing a couple of files to make a pretty Table of Contents. Lastly, I ran Apple’s indexing program on the files to make the search feature work.

    However, an automated process would be really nice. I don’t if making an rdoc generator is perhaps overkill. Alternatively, it would just be a script that massages the output of the HTML generator similar to my manual excersize above.

    Hey DeLynn. Thanks a ton for this. Would love to see the docs in OSX Help format. Please let me know if you need help with this.
