You give WikiHelp an url and it downloads the wiki pages recursively ? In
this
case, how is it different from wget ? Does it also allow browsing of the
downloaded pages?
wget download html pages.
wikihelp download the wikitext contents of an wiki and convert it to heml so
you have only the pure content
and not the menus, special formating and so on. it is mostly an wikitext
converter and
additional it downloads the wikitext for itself from the wiki.
i will add an linux executable at the weekend
Some screenshots and a longer description (in English...) would help
people
understand what WikiHelp is about.
also that i can do.
The idea of having a tool for having a local copy of the wiki is a good
one,
for at least these reasons:
- all of the Lazarus articles, tutorials, etc are on the wiki
- some people don't have web access all the time
- browsing a local copy of the wiki is faster , assuming that browsing is
done
with a viewer called from within the ide. (Reading the local copy of the
wiki with a web browser wouldn't be good enough, and it wouldn't be
worth
the trouble).
Thats also possible but my idea is to manage the Lazarus Help (not the
fcl,rtl,lcl references) in the wiki.
The IDE help and maybe an Object pascal reference as its in the Delphi help.
I have no idea how would WikiHelp fit into this .
Wikihelp can Filter Sites from the wiki at example you can say i want only
all pages that begins with "Lazarus-help"
So we can extract onlyx an part of the wiki and leave the rest untouched. At
exmaple you see the help Sections (only in german at time) on
my Site there are all my Program helps The Pages starts with
*Programname*-help/ and that i type in wikihelp as filter and get the whole
Program help extracted from wiki so i can edit it from everywhere and also
my users can make corrections to the help and in next update an fresh
extracted help is there. Thats what wikihelp does.
