Description Steve Frécinaux 2007-11-29 08:31:49 UTC 
currently, library.gnome.org is not as handy as devhelp is (slower, not available offline), and I think pretty much every package builds a .devhelp file anyway. So it would be great if there was a link somewhere to download the documentation and add it to devhelp.

Downloadable PDF and HTML versions of the documentation would be welcomed too.
Comment 1 Frederic Peters 2007-11-29 09:38:12 UTC 
It is already possible to download the documentation as HTML, and the tarballs include devhelp files; removing that part from the bug report.

PDF output is waiting for a toolchain; see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-doc-list/2007-October/msg00044.html

This is fairly easy these days, maybe using
docbook2pdf. Actually maybe it would be just as easy to generate PDF for
gtk-doc documentation, because it has an intermediate DocBook stage.

Or fop works on recent distro versions and gives even better results:
