hi all,

i am new to clojure (and new to this list). i find clojure.org and the
api documentation at github a great resource for learning. however, i
am missing a comprehensive, compact and searchable offline version
(and i did look around).

so i did what i always do in this case [1]: make * a comprehensive,
compact and searchable offline version in CHM / Microsoft HTML Help
format [2]. it includes the user doc from clojure.org and the api doc
for both core and contrib. the chm file is less than 1M in size, has a
(manually adjusted) toc, and is fully searchable. you can get it from

  http://chm.kollm.org/clojure-doc.chm

i find it quite helpful - maybe others do so, too.

p.s. i noticed some broken links in the clojure.org documentation.
apparently, "Reference > API", which now points to github (core api
doc), used to point to http://clojure.org/API. that latter link is
still used by "java_interop", "macros", "reader", "Reference",
"sequences", and "state". maybe this could be fixed.

* as it doesn't seem to be trivial to getting the (wiki) source of the
website [3], let alone converting it and the source of core and
contrib api doc to html (incl. working links), i went the easier route
of just downloading everything. i used HTTrack [4], which, after some
fiddling with the settings (robots.txt, outgoing domains) worked
almost perfectly. the downloaded files than just had to be adjusted a
little and put into Microsoft's HTML Help Workshop [5].
