Where to get the RubyGems documentation

Hello ruby-talk,

maybe i'm too blind to see it but where can i get a local copy of the
3 documents from http://docs.rubygems.org/

I mean the User Guide, the Command Reference and the FAQ ?

I tried "wget -r" but the file extensions are so damaged that i can't
do anything useable and the download only points me to the source code
tgz which does not include the documentation.

Hi,

Hello ruby-talk,

maybe i'm too blind to see it but where can i get a local copy of the
3 documents from http://docs.rubygems.org/

(The site uses Hieraki(http://www.hieraki.org/\), AFAICT)

I mean the User Guide, the Command Reference and the FAQ ?

Does http://docs.rubygems.org/export/book/1 get you what you need? The
output doesn't seem to be styled as the online version, but it gets
you the content alright.

Follow the export link (e.g. http://docs.rubygems.org/export/book/1 for the
User Guide) and select one of HTML, YAML, Textile or text.

Unforunately none of this formats have the layout options i see on the
website.

True.

Then try the attached script. It will "dehydrate" a live hieraki web site
by creating a directory containing standalone static HTML files. Links
that don't make sense in static world are redirected back to the original
live site.

Warning: Use at your own risk. It seems to work on the RubyGems Users
Guide, but I have not tried it on anything else. On the up side, the
script is simple enough that most anyone should be able to hack it to
their needs.
