Hello,
I was wondering if the manual was going to be included in the stable 4.0 release as offline html files? Also, is there a way I can download the manual right now?

Yes, it will be released in the final as downloads. It will be available as Text, HTML, PDF and possibly CHM.
It is not available for download right now, it is changing too ofter. You could probably use a web spider downloader to grab the HTML sources. In the archive, there is occasionally a CHM build from the alpha/beta docs. If you are on a Windows machine, that may be of interest to you.

I though the manual generation and zip was automatic as part of the testing?
just uploaded a new chm for the beta release. updated to the new theme, includes a few of the doc fixes since the beta was released.
available now at http://www.rapideuphoria.com/uploads/eu4u_chm.zip or in a few hours when the user contribution page is updated: http://www.rapideuphoria.com/contrib.htm
so why are replys getting double spaced?

Thanks for the info. Also, whenever I try to run a .exw file with euiw, it says "no euphoria code to execute" Why does it do this? Or this a bug or an error in the compiler of euphoria?

I am uploading a PDF version of the Beta 4.0 Documentation to www.rapideuphoria.com. Expect it be processed with a few hours.

Tom,
Will it be possible to script this into the build process so that we can release PDF's with future beta or maybe RC's? I want to do this also with the HTML documentation. I believe we will have to use a different template for the HTML docs that a person would download as the current template requires graphics. We could link to the graphics online, however, that would defeat the purpose of the offline docs.

A PDF version of the Beta Documentation is now at www.rapideuphoria.com
(My internet connection was crashing, so I a now trying to upload a zipped version of the Beta documentation, again it should appear within a few hours.)
To make your own Pdf.
Find the htmldoc program: http://www.htmldoc.org/ and http://htmldoc-binaries.org/
htmldoc is opensource and available in Windows and Linux. (I am using the package from NimbleX Linux)
You can have htmldoc read a ".book" file and make the pdf generation a command line operation.
The ".book" file is mostly a list of html files that will be converted, with a selection of formatting options.
Therefore you should be able to automate the generation of PDF documention.

Have you tried html2ps? I wonder how that does in comparison?

Just downloaded html2ps.
My observations:
- needs Perl
- needs ImageMagick
- needs Ghostscript
Going from ps to pdf will be a second step.
So far htmldoc works with the least fuss.
The possible limitation of htmldoc is that we may want more control over the final formatting.
