Bonjour à tous,

I use a local copy of html ruby-1.8 documentation  
(core and stdlib).  
But I’m unable to find the same archive for the 1.9 version.  
Is there such a documentation available?

More generaly,

- is there ant way to generate automaticaly these html documentations  
from the ruby-1.9.1p0.tar.gz source archive?
- is there some higher level documentation (with search engine…)  
which can be usr localy (from a standard php server!)?

– Maurice

I have not tried this with ruby 1.9.1, but with earlier versions of ruby  
it was sufficient to say rdoc -o (from within the source  
directory).
