godoc-chm

This is a tool to generate CHM project files from go documentation hosted on a godoc HTTP server.

Features

• All packages, variables, constants, functions, and types shown hierarchically in the table of contents.
• All packages, variables, constants, functions, and types searchable in the index.

Download

An example CHM can be downloaded from the releases tab.

Install

go get github.com/char101/godoc-chm

Usage

godoc-chm [-cache] [-output directory] [-chm path-to-compiled-chm] [-open] [-compile] godoc-url

Notes

If you are using Windows, you need IE9 (because the godoc javascript uses getElementsByClassName which is only supported by IE9 upwards). Then change the browser emulation compatibility for hh.exe in the registry. The value below sets the compatibility value for IE11.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION]
"hh.exe"=dword:00002af8
