## DESCRIPTION:

Paddle is an RDoc plugin that emits documentation suitable for use as an  
epub  
book. The epub book can then be imported to iBooks for reading on iPad!

## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

- Converts RDoc to epub format
- Sometimes it doesn’t escape everything properly
- Links aren’t working yet
- The tests are poor. _Very_ poor.

## SYNOPSIS:

First, make sure to have the latest RDoc. Install paddle, then rdoc  
your code  
like this:

$ rdoc -o epub -f paddle -t ‘My Documentation’ lib

Next, convert the documentation to an epub file:

$ cd epub  
$ zip -Xr9D mydocs.epub mimetype \*

Then drag “mydocs.epub” to iTunes, and sync up your iPad.

## REQUIREMENTS:

- RDoc
