Request to package offline user documentation

Goals

The FAQ has already been bundled with the DC client under the SettingsHelp menu.

It would be beneficial to include further docs to help a user troubleshoot more issues. It could be either bundled in the DC client, or shipped as a separate webxdc.

Maintenance

To ensure long term maintainability, it ought to be built automatically from the sources, not by hand, in order for it to assimilate upstream updates.

Features

  • efficient storage
  • rendering of rich content
  • rewrite those external links to internal ones whose target is included in the bundle
  • follow internal links
  • tabbed browsing
  • bookmarking articles and sections
  • ranked fuzzy search observing synonyms with context enriched from parents and weighted siblings
  • show a deep link to the respective original source page to enable providing a correction upstream
  • also usable outside Delta Chat, rendered on a static VCS page (ideally as a single page app that can be saved as a file with a single click)
  • include the internationalized versions of content that already exists
