Addition of new Offline Documentation #337
Conversation

@Reqrefusion have you checked if is it usable from within FreeCAD? Using the help preferences? |
Yes, it works that way. However, it is necessary to make changes in the help module. ScreenRecorderProject1_711.mp4I turned off the internet to record the video, by the way, you can be sure that it is offline. The change I made to the Help module was to convert ".md" to ".html". For now, I am not preparing a PR because there are question marks in my mind. I think it is necessary to completely remove MD support from the help module. So the other attempt needs to be completely shelved. This simplifies the code tremendously. What is your opinion on this, @yorikvanhavre . It is obvious that this system is much better than MD. |
Well, you know my opinion on that... |
No I don't know. It would be very scary if I knew. Because I would be able to read people's minds. I probably wouldn't be here, I think I'd be selling something or something. When you think about it, I wonder what use the ability to read minds can have? For example, can the brain get stuck in the language barrier while reading? Or people's thoughts are mostly meaningless, how can they be separated? Anyway, there hasn't been any correspondence about this before, and if there was, I probably missed it. |
My opinion is that we should go the markdown path, and we should not remove markdown support in the help module. Now, this has no impact on this PR, I guess... I'll merge it |
Markdown support in the help module is very makeshift. It seems ridiculous to me that a help module contains something like this. A system integrated into the aid module for Markdown can be added or QT can directly support it. Nevertheless, what is here is not about them. It is very good that the most comprehensive solution for offline help is somehow involved. Maybe you've tried it, it's a very smooth experience. |
If there was a mistake, Yorik made it because I copied it verbatim from the previous offline documentation. I'm adding this experimentally for now. It still appears as a repo of mine. I will add the token that makes the changes to FreeCAD when I switch it from personal token to app token.
