Rails Documentation in CHM Format
Posted by Daniel Butler Tue, 17 Oct 2006 15:03:00 GMT
DeLynn Berry from Denver, Colorado, has converted the Rails Documentation to CHM format, which is quite a bit easier to use than the online HTML format. CHM, or Microsoft Compressed HTML Help, is a proprietary format for online help files, but it can be read on other platforms like Linux and Mac with additional software. DeLynn writes of the update:
“This update has the documentation for the 1.1.6 release of Rails. This version also has a much more organized Contents section that has a folder group for each gem, which will hopefully lead to easier browsing of the entire file.”
If you’re on Mac, try Chamonix, which has better search features than Chmox, but both tools work. On Linux, try GnoCHM or KchmViewer.
Thanks for the link Daniel!
As an FYI, I just posted a version of the CHM document that was created from revision 5315 of the Rails SVN trunk. This file has documentation for all the cool new features (like ActiveResource).
You can get this version from here.
