Is there a way to download the documentation for the Add-on SDK?
In previous versions, you could type
cfx docs
to browse a local copy, yet cfx is deprecated and the docs option was removed even before that.
https://github.com/neiesc/dochub seems like a way to go, but fails on nodejs 0.12.
Not working:
The last commit with the cfx docs command is 97d77223. The documentation is in markdown files in the repository, and thus, obsolete.
The Add-on SDK does not contain enough comments to generate the documentation from it. There is f.ex. no info about page-mod in its files in lib/sdk.
http://devdocs.io/ has a proposal to import, but it is in the middle of the proposals vote-wise.
The problem with the naive wget approach is the stylesheet, which has a URL with a ? and is probably not recognized by wget. To fix, after
downloading all docs via
wget --continue --adjust-extension --recursive --page-requisites --convert-links --level=inf --no-parent --wait=1 'https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/SDK'
download the stylesheet manually
wget https://developer.cdn.mozilla.net/media/css/mdn-min.css?build=0e7ce0f
rename
mv mdn-min.css?build=0e7ce0f mdn-min.css
copy to every sub-directory
find . -type d -exec cp mdn-min.css {} \;
and alter all files to use the local stylesheet:
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's!https\:\/\/developer\.cdn\.mozilla\.net\/media\/css\/mdn-min.css!mdn-min.css!g' {} \;
