The tips are in wikitext, >> and you need a system with MediaWiki for display. >> >> John >> > > Downloading tips There is no good way to download all tips because: - Any download will become out of date when tips are improved on the wiki. - Tips are stored as "wikitext" which can be downloaded but is not intended for reading. - There is no simple procedure to obtain files with a clean html version of each tip. - Links in downloaded files will not work. A tool like wget <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wget> can be used to download the wikitext for individual tips. For example, the following creates file 1.wik containing the wikitext for The super star<http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/The_super_star> : wget -O 1.wik "http://vim.wikia.com/index.php?action=raw&title=The_super_star"; Wikia periodically creates database dumps with a snapshot of the entire Vim Tips wiki in xml format. Each dump contains all tips, templates, user pages, talk pages, and more. Image files and deleted pages are not included. Two dumps (gz <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/gzip> compressed files) are available: - pages_current.xml.gz �C The most-recent revision of each page. - pages_full.xml.gz �C All revisions of each page. Links to download each file are at the bottom of Special:Statistics<http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Statistics>. In November 2009, the current dump is under 2MB (expands to 7MB), and the full dump is 6MB (expands to 67MB). If MediaWiki<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki> is installed (on Linux), either dump can be imported so you have a local web server that displays the html for all Vim tips, with working links. => I'll try this, thanks for the link, you've already done a great job! -- Regards, Isaac.
