Is there a way to get a copy of the AppleScript language documentation (specifically the overview and language guide) in a self-contained form? I could recursively download the HTML documentation from the Apple websites, but is there a better way?
EDIT:
My apologies for not being more specific: I know you can download the docs in PDF, but I'm trying to find them in a downloadable HTML format.
How about the pdf link at the top of the page?

I am trying to automate documentation using markdown compatible wiki without having a separate server.
I have ruby code with yard compatible documentation. If I run
yard doc, it generates html files in ./doc directory.
Would it be possible to generate .md files from the code using yard? So that I can simply add these files to GitLab or GitHub wiki or other markdown supported wiki?
Sorry if the question is repeated.
Stumbled on this question doing my initial research, but haven't found an answer here. It may sound strange, that some people want to convert documentation no to html, but to markdown instead.
But there are plenty of software that can't render HTML, but works with markdown.
I have developed rdoc plugin to do that.

I already search on Google and CI websites but no luck until now.
Do you know where I can find the traditional chinese language pack for Code Igniter?
PS: I already download CI from the official Taiwanese CI website but it only contains english language files.
Thank you for your help! (or wish me good luck to create this language pack!)
I found the language pack here:
https://github.com/CodeIgniter-TW/CodeIgniter-Language
If you aren't familiar with git, just Click the Download Zip button to get an achieve.
Then extract them to codeigniter/system/language/zh_tw/. :)
I'm looking to create PDF files instantly online given user input in my html/php page.
are there any FREE API's out there that will allow me to do this?
various options, here are a couple:
Prince XML
wkhtmltopdf
TCPDF
HTML2PDF
PDF converter
PDFSharp
pdflib
formatter coverters
Php uses the PDFlib library, it has a lot of pdf functions, check it out here http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdf.php
You could probably use pdflib
Hi You have two or three approaches:
1) If you can work with XML, that is, the source of your PDF file is in XML format, you could use XSL and XSL:Fo to generate the PDF. XSL and Fo are declarative languages so you can control the PDF layout external to your application. Fo creates only documents, not interactive forms.
2) If you can work in Java, you could use iText to generate the PDF using a jar/api. There is also iTextSharp for C#. Using iText, you can also create PDF Forms, not just documents.
3) If you have XHTML and just want to create PDFs that look like your HTML pages, there are several options - just search the web for HTML to PDF converters.
If your pdf isn't overly complex, you should look into XFDF before making an architectural decision. The main benefit to this approach is that there is no need to store pdf's in the db or on hard drive. Additionally, I have seen many pdf generation implementations that use home grown batch processes that are buggy and only create another 'moving part' in an application. If you have very complex pdf needs and don't mind the overhead of storing the pdfs, pdflib is a good choice.
Is it possible to generate a set of wiki pages from XML comment file generated by Visual Studio?
I'm talking about something like Sandcastle, but for wiki format instead of compiled CHM.
Edit: I'm using MediaWiki which can import/export articles in XML. So I hope that it is possible to write a transformation converting XML comments to MediaWiki XML.
I'd recommend a bit different solution:
Use Help Server to publish .CHM/.HxS on the web
Use special MediaWiki templates to link reference from Wiki like here.
Use <see href="..."> to link Wiki pages from XML comments
See also: FiXml
This is not exactly what you wanted, but I hope this will be helpful.
If the items mentioned above do not suffice, have you tried to simply build your own XSLT transform into the wiki markup of your choice?
You can write a simple application in .NET (or pick your platform of choice) to transform the doc XML format to wiki XML format. You'd still have to keep the wiki updated with the output files manually.
Anyone know of a wiki or wiki plugin that generates a PDF file or CHM file that spans the entire wiki?
I would like to have control of the table of contents.
I would like the internal and external links to work.
Ideally allow for tweaking the output template, but that is not a deal-breaker.
I want to generate content using WIKI syntax and mindset (lots of cross-links etc), but ship the content in PDF, CHM or an embedded application form. Something friendlier than installing the wiki software on the enduser machine...
XWiki does this out of the box.
The MediaWiki PDF Export extension allows you to select a group of PDF pages. I've not installed it yet, so unsure if it's easy to use that feature to select all the pages.
Confluence lets you choose pages when you export to PDF a space
But you can't customise a lot the PDF
You can customise it slightly through a theme (based on velocity)
Sphinx (https://www.sphinx-doc.org) is a fairly nice tool for generating HTML (or CHM) and PDF documentation, with wiki-like syntax. It is not a wiki; you can't edit through the web and generating HTML requires a build process. Still, it is pretty nice, with cross-references, fairly simple markup, and (in the HTML output) a search engine implemented in JavaScript with no server-side dependencies beyond static file hosting. Sphinx was developed for the new version of the Python documentation and is pretty themable; for example, the GeoServer project (which I work on, excuse the shameless plug) is using Sphinx with a custom theme for the new version of their user and developer manuals.
JIRA (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/default.jsp) is your geeky wet dream in terms of control; it exports to PDF (amongst other) and you can have complete control of pages, TOC and other aspects, although expect some complexity to set it up.
Microsoft has an HtmlHelp Authoring tool that can create chm files from html files.
If you need the help files both on the web and within deployed applications, generating the help from the same files used on the web could be a great solution. If the help site was created using asp.net (ie database driven) it might be worth using basic styles and creating a tool to generate html files by reading in the served out pages?
Have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524239(VS.85).aspx
I guess one could also additionally then create a PDF from the Html pages?
