Geany falls back to the online version of the manual if the local version doesn't exist which I believe is sufficient (just try removing the local help file - you'll get the online manual when clicking Help). I was asking mostly because when one wants to explain how to build geany to someone unfamiliar with the build process like in http://lists.geany.org/pipermail/users/2016-January/009868.html the easiest way is to say ``` ./autogen.sh --disable-html-docs && make && sudo make install ``` because most probably the user doesn't have docutils installed. It would be nice if it was just the standard ``` ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install ``` --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/863#issuecomment-170400062
