Would it be too much to ask someone who has access to the webserver to
zip/tgz up all the HTML from the "Function Reference" portion of the
website and send it to me offline. I have been fighting trying to get
it to build off-and-on for 2 days now and can't get it to do all of
it. I have the DOCSTRINGS from octave in place, but it won't generate
the pages for interpreter functions.
I wrote a simple little help viewer (in GTK since the rest of OctaveDE
is in that also) that uses a full-text search library called Xapian to
index all the files. Currently it only works on-line; e.g. I index
the files to create a local search database and then simply direct
them to the octave.sourceforge.net website. Needless to say, I would
like a complete set of the website HTML files so the index database
will be complete.
