No, I’m afraid not. @sicher, are we planning something like this?

Ah, that’s a shame. I hope this is something you’re planning to offer.

Thanks

#4

How are the docs made? Are they edited by hand or compiled from some kind of source file?

I’m not sure about the manuals, but the API reference is compiled from an intermediate format extracted from source code.

I’ve made a Dash docset for the API reference in my spare time based on the intermediate format in case anyone is interested (note: this is not an official Defold project or product). As you can see from the code in the Github project the intermediate format of the API reference is publicly available from our download site. You should be able to convert the same files to a PDF with just a little bit of scripting.

No promises, but I’ll look into compiling a PDF. We’re building all documentation from a few kinds of source files so it should be doable.

Sorry to bump this years later, but has this been made? Just wondering otherwise I’ll just download html files of the webpages for the manual.
