Printer-friendly Help Files
 
Hi all, is there a convenient way to print the ZMud help files? I do a lot of thinking and scripting when I'm away from the computer (yes, that's with paper and pencil :) ) and would really like to have a hadr-copy of the docs with me when I do that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks. He was able to provide an MS .doc file that worked.

Unfortunately, zMud is updated faster than most mortals would like to go through the process of coverting the help files to printable formats. Most documentation systems that I've worked with were written in SGML or some other generic language which was then translated to whatever was needed. Presuming that zMud is doing something similar to this for, since we get both a web-based set of documentation and a Windows .hlp file, are there any plans to include a printer-friendly version in the future? Myself, I'd like to see a LaTeX version, but I'd be happy with a .doc file.

Thanks again,

Wil
