2018-02-26 Offline Documentation

I was planning to take the laptop into the Alps but didn’t. I figured I might want to learn some Lua if the weather was bad but it wasn’t. But had I wanted to, I figured I should get some offline documentation to take along. Being a Perl person, I expected all the documentation to be available in man pages, but not so. It’s all HTML. I was pointed at *Zeal*, a tool that offers offline documentation.

For my own use, I ended up with *wget* once more:

 wget --mirror --page-requisites --convert-links --no-parent \
      https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/

This is good enough.
