Hello everyone! I quickly brought this up towards the end of OSCAL Lunch with the Devs on 14 July 2022 when I remembered. Is anyone interested in alternative formats of the reference model documentation, their outlines, and element indices? I have been experimenting with using tools like Zeal (and the more popular commercial but very similar equivalent for macOS, Dash. This uses public feeds of Dash docsets to load prepared copies of HTML documentation for common programming languages, runtimes/virtual machines, command line utilities, and software development frameworks. All docs in one app, but no internet is needed for easy search and review without any internet.
(Observe this screenshot, it shows the tool will search for keywords in docs on common variables, classes, functions across multiple configured languages at once if there is a match; in this example I selected Golang JSON's library as one result in the left-hand search results.)
Per @david-waltermire-nist's recommendation at the end of the meeting as many dropped off, it seems prudent to ask: does anyone else have interest in offline docs in HTML, PDF, or any other format to be accessible outside of a browser on a computer with continuous internet access?
