I've got an app that stores infrequently-changing-but-not-entirely- static data. I'd like to be able to generate a snapshot of the app (or a portion thereof) in a CHM file so users can snag a copy for offline use, that still has the hyperlink structure intact, can be searched, printed, etc. Optimal would be something I could feed a route to & it would spider every link from there, using my existing views. My googling has not turned up any existing gems/plugins that just magically do what I want, alas, but I wondered if anybody here can point me at a likely place to start on such a feature? I know there's an rdoc plugin or branch that generates CHM from rdoc--that'll be where I start unless someone has a better suggestion.
If you are on OS X, you can use the rdoc_osx_dictionary (more info here: http://github.com/seattlerb/rdoc_osx_dictionary). I believe there's a dependency on hoe that isn't installed with the gem (although it should be, but it isn't), so if you are having problems, make sure you have hoe installed too.
A google search for "rails chm" brought up these: http://moiristo.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/ruby-core-ruby-on-rails-chm-documentation/ http://dirk.net/2007/12/30/generate-ruby-on-rails-chm-documentation/ etc. Maybe you'll have luck with those links.
