the manual is great. but does anyone have a pdf or even a simple text file
for this? I seldom read docs on screen now since my eyes could not handle
anymore...
thanks for the help.

A very valid concern, but unfortunately, HTML is the only real option.
You can export to rdoc, but it completely destroys the code blocks:

Once _why finishes his next miracle and produces PDF's from textile,
I'm sure it will be a fairly simple matter to convert most Hieraki
pages to PDF with little effort. There's still the nasty little issue
of the syntax highlighted code blocks, though...
Guess I ought to start thinking about how to convert a code block to
PDF, or whatever.

Isn't this really just a matter of turning off syntax highlighting and changing the font to monospace? Or is it more complicated than that?
Oops - I was reading an old copy of the docs. There's one in the
standard distribution now.

Well, part of it is that I don't WANT to turn off syntax highlighting.
So...
Writing PDF's is more complicated than you'd think, really. For grins,
go to the RAA and grab one of the pdf library's (I'm playing with the
ClibPDF bindings). It can be pretty fun to dynamically generate
a nice-looking PDF.

Sounds cool. Actually I totally expected creating a PDF to be difficult, but I figured that including source code in a PDF would be no more difficult than any other type of object you might want to put in a PDF. Now that you've explained you want to keep syntax highlighting, I see your point. That would certainly increase the complexity of the problem. Perhaps a rough version of textile->PDF conversion could start with basic uncolored monospace text and get more fancy later on.
