How to archive the Eigen C++ 3.2.0 online document into a single mht?

Question

I find the online document of Eigen C++ template library is very useful in learning the algorithms and their usages: Eigen 3.2.0 documentation but is only available online or as separate html files.

How to combine all these documents into one *.mht or *.chm file so that all the indices and cross-reference links are all active for use?

Should the unsupported features be combined together?

Answer 1

I build it, you can download this file. PS: The file has a script error when click the page.

Also you can build it by yourself:

1. download and unzip the source code.

2. install CMake.

3. install Doxygen.

4. install HTML Help Workshop and Documentation

5. configure and generate the Doxyfile by CMake.

   • run the cmake-gui.exe
   • set the source code directory to Where is the source code
   • set a output directory to Where to build the binaries
   • press Configure button
   • press Generate button
   • you can find the Doxyfile in [CMake Output Directory]\doc.

6. configure and generate CHM by Doxygen and HTML Help Workshop and Documentation.

   • run the doxywizard.exe
   • open the Doxyfile, generated by CMake, in Doxygen.
   • in Expert page, make GENERATE_HTMLHELP checked and set the HHC_LOCATION to the hhc.exe from HTML Help Workshop.
   • in Run page, click Run doxygen
   • at last, it will generate a chm file, named index.chm in [CMake Output Directory]\doc\html.

Good luck.

About script error, thank @LCFactorization. :)

"I find the script error is only caused by internet explorer's security level; setting it to high solves the problem." from @LCFactorization.

You have to download Eigen's sources, create a build directory and configure it with cmake. Then edit the build/doc/Doxyfile file, set GENERATE_HTMLHELP to YES and CHM_FILE to eigen.chm. Then run make doc. You should find the chm file in build/doc/html.
