Thanks to Matheus França who posted this on Discord today:

http://zealusercontributions.vercel.app/api/docsets/D.xml

It contains Zeal (https://zealdocs.org) docset with D documentation. Whoever did this - thank you! - I wanted to do it myself and could never find time to do it...

They had some exotic description language based on Ruby to fetch documentation files, if I'm not mistaken.

It will also get into MacOS "Dash", it seems?

Now you can finally program while flying on an airplane!

Thanks to Matheus França!

Very interesting. I am not sure if that is really related,
but I did patchup an old dlang docset generator last year.
See https://github.com/gizmomogwai/d-phobos-docset.
It might be related as iirc I added the list of changelogs
to the "TAGS" section of the docset and the articles to the
"WORDS" section (having no better place to place them).
But someone else for sure did some work on top and contributed it.

The link to the original scripts is in my github repo
(this is where the hard work was done). Also searching through https://zealusercontributions.vercel.app/api/docsets yields the original author
"author":{"name":"Tristan Hume","link":"http://thume.ca/"},"name":"D","aliases":["Phobos"],"archive":"D.tgz",

Basically a docset is a set of html files + sqlite database to have an index + packaging as a .docset folder hierarchy with a defined structure.

I forked your fork with minor changes. In order to update the D documentation.

Since you were the first to add D doc, it is normal that you have the description in your username.
I had no interest in updating the initial authorship, only updating the doc.

What’s wrong with offline documentation DMD comes with?

this docset is the offline documentation + a searchable index that works in Zeal or Dash (the first of them is open source and cross platform, the second one of them seems to be very popular with OSX developers).

Kind regards,
