Offer HTML offline documentation, in addition to current PDF

Open jidanni opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Just like on https://github.com/OSGeo/PROJ/issues/4051, could the GDAL project offer, in addition to the current PDF document download, an additional HTML file download, please?

I.e., a zip file, of documentation only, consisting of separate .html files. Just like the https://gdal.org/ website itself. (Not just one massive .html file too.)

This zip file should not be stuck inside a larger download, but independent. No, there is no more offline doc package: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960964#12

Ah, on https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/dev/ in the lower left corner, one can download https://docs.generic-mapping-tools.org/dev/gmt-docs-dev.zip which is indeed ideal: individual files, with even an search box (in its side panel) that works offline!

you're basically asking for https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal-docs/ . Just download and unzip https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal-docs/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

Okay, I'll have a look when I get back home next week...
