[QUOTE="andargor, post: 1731836, member: 7231"] As you may (or may not) know, I published an offline searchable version of the SRD 3.5. (link in my sig) Now, I chose thse two formats to publish it in: [list] [*]HTML with a custom javascript search engine for offline use and TOC [*]MS Help 1.x (CHM) single-file with a custom javascript search engine and TOC (I did not use the integrated ones in Windows Help because, well, I think they suck :) ) [/list] I am now close to releasing an updated version and I've been asking myself what format(s) people want to use. So this poll is to basically give me some direction. As a side note, the new version will have a lot of fixes, both to content and to javascript code. The search engine will, for example, return results for "spell-like" and "take 10" at that time. (I had fat-fingered the code on that one...). If there are any other formats of interest, please don't hesitate to indicate them. I realize that there are Linux and Mac owners who would like to have specific formats, and I'd like to know what you think. I personnally privilege having a single big file instead of multiple HTML files, but that's me. I realize that straight HTML allows you to bookmark specific pages in your browser, but some of these formats allow you to do that, and I'm considering coding a simple bookmark tool in javascript for the custom stuff. Opinions? Regards, Andargor [/QUOTE]
