Question

Dokka should be fairly usable without http server

MarcinAman opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

Right now dokka requires an http server. This is not a problem since most of users use Intellij built in one but in some cases they would like to send documentation in zip or other format.
In order to make their life easier dokka should:

change requests to allow for local files
possibly bundle fonts

Hi 😁 any updates on this? It looks to me like this is still not fixed and 1.5.0 is published a while ago

Hi @petarmarijanovicfive! Unfortunately, the WIP PR is stale and no work is being done in this direction atm.

Overall, the feature would definitely be nice to have, I'll have a look at it when I have free time, but I can't give any estimates or promises :(

It would be nice to remove the webserver requirement.

In the meantime, would it make sense to place a small info text in the <div id="sideMenu"> to give the unknowing user a hint that he should open the documentation using a webserver? It will be overloaded and not be visible when opened with a server.
