Can You guys add a html offline download link?

1. So postgresql fans don't need to search google everytime.
2. offline html print is more elegant, current dco html print the font
size is quite small. I know there is a pdf version, but you need to locate
the page then print. So offline html is quite good for printing.
3. Other manuals also support it.

Uh, the html is in the tarball you download for the install, right?

Re: offline print option.

I copied the html files from source code repository.
Add a offline download link would be more friendly to beginner, I guess.

Uh, yeah, but I don't remember ever receiving a request for this, so it
doesn't seem warranted to add a link for it.

Same here, that's the first time I hear this request. Also I'm not sure that
beginner will really find it easier to locate the html page they need compared
to a search in the pdf document.

Re: offline print option.

It's not strange at all. people browse this(java - How to download Javadoc
to read offline? - Stack Overflow
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6986993/how-to-download-javadoc-to-read-offline&gt;)
page more than 124,000 times. And there are a few aggregate offline
manual/reference applications.

C++ references(cppreference.com <https://en.cppreference.com/w/&gt;) even
have printable versions of every html page.

For me personally, offline html is the most convenient format to print
out.

What about PDF [1]https://www.postgresql.org/docs/? I wouldn't print HTML if PDF is available.
