#275222 — Kate editor documentation as downloadable HTML file(s)?

FromRichard Owlett <rowlett@access.net>
Date2024-12-04 12:30 +0100
SubjectKate editor documentation as downloadable HTML file(s)?
Message-ID<JPVJT-dFNn-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
I recently discovered Kate. One might think its design goals were how I 
work and a specific personal project I have. Get idea that I like it ;}

I find HTML formatted documentation much more usable than PDF.
A fine manual at https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/kate/index.html .

Two questions:
   1. Has someone packaged it as a downloadable file?
   2. Is there a script that would download it to a specific local
      directory in a manner that all it's internal links work?

TIA

If you have firefox you can do a "save page as" which is what I do.
Otherwise you would have to
wget -np --mirror <url>
with the <url> being the url to the kate docs.

My primary browser is SeaMonkey. As my OS is Debian I have Firefox 
available. Both save *ONLY* the first page.

  wget -r -L -k https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kate/kate/index.html

and man wget for more options

Perhaps reconsult the last reference in:

Yes, pandoc is packaged and can do that easily.

To what URL do you refer?
The only *downloadable* files listed at
    https://docs.kde.org/index.php?language=en&package=kate
are PDF.

"kate-data" package contains the kate documentation in docbook format.
Once installed, you should be able to access it through kate's help
menu or khelpcenter.

Synaptic reports "kate-data" is installed.
When Kate is launched *ALL* references to "handbook" take me to the 
web-page *NOT* to anything local!

Give me explicit directions to this "docbook" information please.

You probably want something like /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kate/index.docbook

You could try httrack. See the output of
  apt show httrack
for more info.

It worked and I got so involved in Kate I didn't say thanks.
I've started on a new situation needing another manual.
Went looking for "how did I do it before".
Re-found your post.
Even if it's late -- Thank You!
