Is it possible to set up and run rdoc in such a manner that core api  
documentation, standard library documentation, and documentation for  
other installed libraries, is all generated and installed on my system  
as an integrated whole? Not in separate units?

Thanks,  
Ken

AFAIK, the answer is no.

You could presumably run one rdoc command that lists all the  
directories you want to source. That would get all the classes and  
files mashed up into one blob, which wouldn’t appeal to me.

What you want is worthwhile, but would need a dedicated project, I  
think. The result should have a table of contents, like  
[RDoc Documentation](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib).  
The code behind that, “stdlib-doc” (on Rubyforge) could be a starting  
point.

In an ideal (to me) system, the resulting webpage would have three  
tables of contents: core, stdlib and other.
