like to have that for D as well.

It would also nice to have a up-to-date CHM version of 
https://github.com/a11e99z/DlangChm

Are there any compiled sources?

That's not the same because phobos lib isn't included and not 
that visual compact than DlangChm.

If you’ve installed dmd via one of the supported installers (or 
the zip), you should already have the html files for the spec. On 
Windows, they’re in a subdirectory. I assume on other platforms 
they’re in the standard doc location for that platform.

Would be nice if you could use this html *completely* offline, 
too.

At the moment, if your're offline, you can't download the 
Roboto+Slab fonts that it tries to grab off the internet, from 
fonts.google.com, and so the pages end up with some default font 
that makes it look pretty awful.

In addition to the already mentioned solutions there are at least two more:

1. I was pointed by Seb to https://devdocs.io/d/ which offers an offline 
mode via html5.

2. Another nice thing for dlang would be to support dash docsets 
(https://kapeli.com/dash). There is a free opensource reader for those 
as well (https://zealdocs.org/). 
https://github.com/trishume/d-phobos-docset tried to create such docsets 
with a small script, but thats not up2date.


All in all I think there are almost to many half baked solutions to the 
offline documentation problem in dlang. Perhaps this could be something 
for the steering committee.

Kind regards,
Christian

Thanks, that looks promising!
