An RDOC question

ruby-talk
1

When I install a gem I notice that the documentation (rdoc) is also
installed.
How do I invoke that rdoc document? Say I want to view the *mechanize* rdoc?

Thank you

$ gem server

Then go to http://localhost:8808

Have fun!

You can use ri as well...

ri Array
ri Array#join
ri join

works with gems and core library
