There was some discussion some time ago regarding providing an offline readable wiki. So far as I remember, there were some issues, but I cannot found the historic.

I am inserting it in the roadmap to check how Sphinx generates that.

Would definitely agree that having an autogenerated download version of the docs is helpful particularly as a backup when working on in a remote location where there is little to no internet connectivity

I got up to the point of doing:

cd <wiki directory>
make latexpdf

It hits an functools.partial __name__ attribute exception when trying to write a vimeo video to a pdf (imagine that). Log is attached. Running in WSL Ubuntu 18.04. Taking the html with us is working well, except the search box doesn't work. That's a different rabbit hole though. sphinx-err-pvcoi057.log

@TunaLobster update?

Not going to be able to do this until the environment is stable and can be easily updated on the build server. Peter has a branch for the new build server that I've made a PR too (the python venv and such). I know he's pretty busy so I'm just waiting on a review from him on that stuff. I know Pierre will want to look at the PR that brings Peter's branch upstream.
