I feel I should not be writing this, since it would make galinha very mad, but you can do something like: $ cd path/to/svn/repo/copy $ cd wiki $ mkdir html $ find -maxdepth 1 -type f | sed 's+./++' > wiki-files $ while read i; do wget "http://chicken.wiki.br/$i"; -O "html/$i.html"; done < wiki-files $ rm wiki-files It's not recommended, since it consumes lots of resources. The wiki2html script, which is the recommended, good enough approach, generates readable HTML, as Graham mentioned. Another alternative is the PDF manual you can get from http://chicken.wiki.br/dev-snapshots/2008/02/24/chicken.pdf (you should be able to get it from http://chicken.wiki.br/dev-snapshots/current/chicken.pdf, but it seems that since 02/25 the manual is not being generated, which indicates we have a bug. Thank you for having induced me to look at this -- I'm gonna trace the problem).
