Is the documentation online somewhere?

Wiki
21

Just spotted that the links to other anchors didn’t work. Bother.

22

I’ve updated the documentation to the latest version. I also took the opportunity to fix the embedded HTML (sadly the wiki doesn’t take HTML as input, only its own formatting). The links to other anchors still aren’t right, sadly, but hopefully it won’t take too many more iterations before I figure out the right syntax.

Thanks for keeping it up-to-date, Andrew.

24

Great! Thanks! Two suggestions:

  1. The formatting has problems when viewed on an iPhone.
  2. Keep a beta version for the beta functions of Codea for the curious one and those who want to start coding early.
  3. Change the header from “Codify” to “Codea”.
    I use it all the time!
    Thanks!

Hey, if possible, please make it so it works on an iPhone screen size without getting messed up. And possibly add a version with beta functions in it.
Thanks!

Does http://twolivesleft.com/Codea/Reference work well enough on the iPhone?

This is not going to cut it for me @Ipda41001:

This happens on most pages.
Thanks!

Il would like copi and past code from this help. I am dyslexique and it s very dificul to copy a code with out mistake.

29

An old copy is here https://bitbucket.org/TwoLivesLeft/codea/wiki/Documentation

Hmm, I should update that to the latest version.

31

FYI, I’ve put together a tiny page that grabs the live online docs and displays them as real JSON for further parsing - http://slofith.org/projects/codea-ref-as-json.html

you need to be using a WebKit browser since the origin server still does User-Agent sniffing… :frowning:

32

Great work @russm. That’s pretty handy.

33

ah, man… OK, so the next step (processing the data into plain HTML) is going to be a huge PITA since there’s additional pure-js logic in app/models/reference.js for display formatting… and I don’t think I can be bothered re-implementing enough of the sencha touch framework to do it… oh well…

34

Sorry guess from what was said in the the thread not much of a chance, but has anyone found a way to view the documentation in a desktop browser? doesn’t work for me in chrome or safari either. Is json the only option? . I bought the app but much more interested in the runtime now and want to built apps on the desktop.

35

I use Chrome on a Windows 7 system. The version of the in-app documentation here works for me. To scroll, click and dragging with the mouse replaces swipes on the iPad.

@mpilgrem thanks so much, that works! Sometimes its the simple things… Sorry am on a trackpad most of the time (even though click and hold works on a trackpad too anyway)
