I would like to have documentation I could read offline. Instead of printing each individual help topic it would be nice to have the documentation as a downloadable doc file. Any help would be appreciated.
THanks in advance.

Dear saburn, Smile

Welcome to AutoHotkey Community!

If you have installed AutoHotkey, you will already have a AutoHotkey.chm
which is THE DOCUMENTATION.

The following will start the file (If it Exists!)

Code:
StringTrimRight, Prefix, A_AhkPath,4
HelpFile=%Prefix%.chm
IfExist, % HelpFile
Run, %HelpFile% , , Max

Regards, Smile

If you prefer the HTML files, you can use something like HTTrack to download the whole manual at once.
No mean to get all the manual as a single file to print out... It would make a nice book.

Err the help file is downloadable in an offline format -- it's called 'AutoHotkey Help File.chm' and is located in the same directory as your AutoHotkey installation folder. Windows CHM has all the indexing, bookmarking and printing facilities you need aswell - its all wrapped up in one neat package Smile

I meant a single HTML file. I don't think you can print the whole CHM file at once! The advantage of the HTML files is that you can merge them if you want.
I knew there were CHM decoders (the freeware in the given link is curiously named CHM Encoder), but I was lazy to search... Thanks for the link.

AHK version 1.0.45.01 help file:

Thanks,
