digitalmars.D.learn - ePub/Mobi/AZW3/PDF of Phobos Runtime Library

Beloved,


I love programming in D. D is my favorite programming language. 
I'm not a professional programmer, but I love to program. I would 
like to learn D deeply. Most programming languages have a 
PDF/CHM/MOBI/ePub version of the standard library. But D still 
doesn't have such a portable version of the Phobos Runtime 
Library. I humbly ask you to make available a portable version of 
the Phobos library, to better disseminate the D programming 
language.


Thank you

We used to have this, it wasn't used, and keeping it building was a 
drain on resources. What is wrong with the online docs? What 
dissemination do you think could happen if we had it in these formats 
that's going to reach people more than the HTML version?

Note that the zipfile has a complete copy of the documentation in html 
format.

I wish I could read all the documentation for D on my Kindle 
ebook reader.

So assuming i understand what you're asking for here, it already 
exists.

When you download D, you get a directory named 'html'.

In that directory is a file named 'index.html'.

Is that what you want? (see the Documentation menu at the top of 
the index.html)

The only problem with that, is that it downloads fonts, so you 
need access to the internet. It will still work fine without 
access, but it will default to a font that isn't particulary nice 
on the eyes.

Of course there is. But someone has to volunteer their time and 
effort to do it ;-)

Hi there!
First of all at page of Language reference is available Mobi 
version
https://dlang.org/spec/spec.html

Also please check this thread 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/qkxtppiaobehdjorocob forum.dlang.org

There are plenty of links and resources:
https://d-apt.sourceforge.io/

https://devdocs.io/d/

I believe almost everything is ready, someone just should bring 
it all together and put the up2date links on official web-site in 
“Offline documentation” page

Have a nice day D-community!

Devdocs of Dlang Phobos library to ePub/Mobi/AZW3/PDF will be a 
dream come true.
