Offline Reading

[InteXX]

Thank you for this.

Is there an easy way to convert it to PDF, for offline viewing? My bandwidth is sharply limited and reading it online is prohibitive.

[softchris]

so question back

• how bad is you bandwidth?

There are two ways I can solve this for you:

• Adding a service worker to Docsify (i.e softchris.github.io/react-book), and you can get shut off the Internet and it would still work. This is good if your Internet works a bit up and down.
• Generate a PDF, if your Internet doesn't work at all mostly.

Let me know what situation you have so I can select the best way to help @InteXX :)

I get 1Mbps on a good day 🙂

That Docsify sounds interesting. I'll look closer.

A PDF would be ideal, but I don't want to ask for too much of your time. I wouldn't be interested in a private solution—only one that everyone can use.

Perhaps Docsify is that solution.

Can you generate its PDF?

@softchris

I'm trying to follow what you mean by this:

Adding a service worker to Docsify

But I'm coming up empty unfortunately.

Can you clarify?

@InteXX

1. Create a folder, like 0-TOC
2. Copy the attached file into that _sidebar.md
3. Setup the docsify-to-pdf into your clone's root and add a configuration file with the contents: [ "0-TOC/_sidebar.md" ] setting.
4. Run the convert and now you should have a pdf file with all the md files' content in the desired order.

@softchris
Maybe you can consider adding that catalogue file for the PDF generation. Thanks.
