Ruby docs in pdf format?

Ruby
1

I’ve searched Google for a while and cannot find the official docs in
pdf format. I can download in HTML format, but I’d like the docs
accessible from a pdf reader. Does this elusive pdf exist?

And what do you mean by official docs?

No, and you wont because makes no sense. You can find tools to convert
HTML to PDF or even write one.

Not really. Use calibre or some such to create PDF or other e-reader
form from the HTML.

Your contrary is a little contrived, my friend.

What do you think I mean by official? Perhaps the docs that are featured
on the official ruby website?

Why would it make no sense? Should everybody convert html to pdf who
want to download a simple pdf of the docs? Check google search, plenty
of searches are being performed for “ruby docs pdf download”.

Thanks tamouse, I’ll try that.

Probably what you get with ri or on ruby-doc.org …

Why shouldn’t that make sense???
