Hi does anyone of you know where ri actually stores the content of its request, or how it is generated? I want to put it onto a local website with links (i am lazy), but looking at ri/rdoc’s source is too cumbersome (i’d actually prefer to parse the .rb files myself and write something up, instead of reading other people’s complex code 🙂 ) ---
