Just a quick email to let those interested know that I’ve posted an  
updated version of my CHM document that now has all the documentation  
from the 1.1.6 release of Rails. You can read more about it here:  
[http://delynnberry.com/2006/10/16/rails-chm-documentation-version-1-1-6](http://delynnberry.com/2006/10/16/rails-chm-documentation-version-1-1-6)

I’m also planning on creating a pre-release version based on what is  
currently available in Rails trunk. So if you’re currently using all  
the cool new features in trunk and are tired of looking at source  
code, keep you eyes out for that in the coming days.

Nice! I sometimes need docs offline. This also works fine on Mac OS  
using chmox.

Glad to hear you have found it to be useful!

The last time I looked at Chmox it didn’t have support for reading the  
index of the file that I generate (which I’ve never been able to  
figure out). It also doesn’t have support for searching the document  
either.

If either of these features interest you, I suggest using Chamonix on  
OS X:

Ah, yep, I hadn’t noticed. I actually think I’d prefer a PDF version –  
possible (or already exists)?

Many thanks for this. Much appreciated.

Any chance of nifty help icon instead of the ugly one that Windows uses  
by default?

Thanks,

Dan

I just posted a version of the CHM document that has documentation  
from revision 5315 of Rails trunk.

I did a quick Google search, and there does appear to be some software  
out there that’s able to convert CHM files to indexed PDF documents.  
Maybe I’ll spend some time investingating them tomorrow and post the  
results.
