Of course there are many tools to do that, but: - Often there are some drawbacks, such as resources not being properly linked / difficulty of converting "virtual" paths into actual folders + files (http://www.web2py.com/book is the final path, not a directory containing an index.html; Same thing e.g. for http://www.web2py.com/book/default/chapter/01, so the tool should be able to create fake index.html files for each directory, or so) - It would be useful to have the source to, e.g., easily generate printable versions or custom PDFs - I wanted to do that the clean and polite way, avoiding to brutally recursively grab pages from the online book.. -- Samuele ~redShadow~ Santi ---------------------------------------------------------------- redshadow[at]hackzine.org - redshadowhack[at]gmail.com Blog: http://hackzine.org GPG Key signature: 050D 3E9F 6E0B 44CE C008 D1FC 166C 3C7E EB26 4933 ---------------------------------------------------------------- /me recommends: Squadra Informatica - http://www.squadrainformatica.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Proud ThinkPad T-Series owner - Registered Linux-User: #440008 * GENTOO User since 1199142000 (2008-01-01) * former DEBIAN SID user ---------------------------------------------------------------- "Software is like sex: it's better when it's free!" -- Linus Torvalds
