documentation - C++ Boost Docset -
is there docset boost? i'ld add dash offline documentation search, , can't find 1 anywhere. attempts of own build have failed, rather spectacularly.
not i've found; don't offer complete set of offline docs, let alone dash docset. (alas, pdfs marchall clow mentions small subset.)
i've been toying idea of creating one, gave in frustration. if want collaborate, drop me line!
as understand it, you'd need to:
create offline mirror of entire set of boost docs. easy enough, following should work:
wget --mirror -p --no-parent --convert-links -p ./boost_docs \ http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/libs/libraries.htm
index docs. (this hard part.) scrape html , try , pull out interesting semantic elements: classes, functions, types , on, , create index.
many of components of boost seem use consistent documentation format, complicates things many other components have own, idiosyncratic approach, , html markup not semantic. (
boost::filesystem
's docs appear have been created using microsoft frontpage. wish joking.)
