Thread: offline print option.
Can You guys add a html offline download link?
- So postgresql fans don't need to search google everytime.
- offline html print is more elegant, current dco html print the font size is quite small. I know there is a pdf version, but you need to locate the page then print. So offline html is quite good for printing.
- Other manuals also support it.

Uh, the html is in the tarball you download for the install, right? -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com If only the physical world exists, free will is an illusion.
I copied the html files from source code repository.
Add a offline download link would be more friendly to beginner, I guess.

Uh, yeah, but I don't remember ever receiving a request for this, so it doesn't seem warranted to add a link for it. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com If only the physical world exists, free will is an illusion.

Same here, that's the first time I hear this request. Also I'm not sure that beginner will really find it easier to locate the html page they need compared to a search in the pdf document.
It's not strange at all. people browse this(java - How to download Javadoc to read offline? - Stack Overflow) page more than 124,000 times. And there are a few aggregate offline manual/reference applications.
C++ references(cppreference.com) even have printable versions of every html page.
For me personally, offline html is the most convenient format to print out.

What about PDF [1]? I wouldn't print HTML if PDF is available.
