Download of Ruby 1.9 docs with Rails docs
I know that Windows users are hampered because ri is not properly installed.
If you’d like a nicely-formatted download of Ruby and Rails docs, try http://railsapi.com/
You can customize what you want, and include other components, adding docs for, say, the popular Hpricot HTML/XML parsing library (and much else).
They package docs for Rails 2.3.4 (rather than 2.3.3, which we’re using) which should be fine.
For Rails, a student reminds me that you can run “gem server” in one window, and then browse to http://localhost:8808/ to see docs for all gems you’ve installed (but not the core/standard Ruby docs).
