[Q] Rubydoc

Could someone tell me how to read rubydoc documentation?
I have a rubydoc file and I can’t figure out what viewer I’m supposed to
use. I guess I can just read it with ‘less’, but that misses the whole
point of doing a markup.

Thanks.

If it’s in rd format, there’s a chapter on it in the PickAxe book. The
online version (minus the delightful figures) is at
http://rubycentral.com/book/rdtool.html.

If it’s RDoc (you can tell the difference: rdoc doesn’t have lots of
punctuation in the markup), then download rdoc and use ‘rdoc ’ or
‘rdoc <directory’.

Cheers
