Offline version cannot really be used offline

[Letheward]

The offline version downloaded from About cannot be used normally without internet.

The Problem:

• Without internet, the left sidebar links, search and MathJax rendering, etc are completely not functional.

---

Temporary Solutions:

• I just batch replace all the external links to jquery.min.js, jquery-ui.min.js from every file to links to local disk versions of these files, and it seems works out fine. (MathJax is not working of course)
• And batch replace the all the home logo links on top left to href="../index.html".

Maybe we can do these at the build process?

Thanks for pointing this out. I don't have the bandwidth to do these but I would love to see a PR.

The docs can be viewed offline using a local HTTP server. However, because function documentation files have no extension, a custom server that serves extensionless files as text/html has to be used.

As a quick solution to anybody that has this issue, you can copy this python script to something like serve.py and then run it:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import http.server
import socketserver


class Handler(http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler):
    extensions_map = http.server.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler.extensions_map.copy()
    extensions_map[''] = 'text/html'


host = "localhost"
port = 8080
with socketserver.TCPServer((host, port), Handler) as httpd:
    print(f"serving docs at http://{host}:{port}")
    httpd.serve_forever()
