Can't you use this to make Tango's docs to CHM?

Perhaps. AFAIK Tango's docs don't come in a downloadable format, so I'd have to automate downloading them or something. I don't have any active Tango projects currently, so I'm not that inspired to at the moment...

I had http://www.httrack.com/ suggested as a way to get them. It worked well.


I pointed it at:

http://www.dsource.org/projects/tango/wiki/Manual

and gave it the filters:

AFAIK Tango doc's are in ddoc format so you could probably generate them with DMD straight from the source. I haven't used the ddoc features myself so I don't know how it works exactly. Anyway maybe I could try to do it myself someday or wait for you to start your first Tango project :)
