    55This is useful for both offline documentation '''and''' reading branch documentation that is usually not available on the web.

    1515Generating offline documentation should work as follows:
    1616 * there is a command '''builddocs''' that can be called from either `django-admin.py` or `manage.py`
    17   * that produces multiple-page HTML output from the docs by default, but accepts the option `--single` to produce single-page output
     17  * that produces multiple-page HTML output from the docs by default, but accepts the option `--single` to produce single-page output [DONE]
    1818  * PDF generation is less important, but should be implemented eventually, see http://code.google.com/p/rst2pdf (rather than pisa from http://www.htmltopdf.org/ as proposed in #528/#6443)
    1919 * the converter tries to make the documentation look similar to web docs by
    20    * using (a subset of) the Django official CSS http://media.djangoproject.com/css/homepage.css (discuss copyright issues)
    21    * using the customized docutils classes from source:djangoproject.com/django_website/apps/docs/builder.py
    22  * the inter-page links should be converted to make them work properly (by extending the docutils classes)

     22 * the inter-page links should be converted to make them work properly (by extending the docutils classes) [DONE]
    2323 * less important: external images from http://media.djangoproject.com/img/doc/ can be retrieved and image links converted accordingly (`--with-images` option perhaps?)

    27 The proposal has been mostly implemented, though neither inter-page links nor images have been dealt with.
     27The proposal has been implemented, inter-page links and table of contents work. Images have not been dealt with, I doubt if they are worth the trouble. CSS images are another thing though, but they are trivial to add, only copyright issues need to be sorted out.
