Is the F # help documentation available offline (PDF, CHM)?

Question

I found several posts on hubFS of people asking whether or not there is standalone documentation for F #. I did not respond to these messages. So I want to give him a chance and ask the same question here on SO.

---

Where I was looking for offline documentation right now:

• April 2010 The CTP release of Visual F # (version 2.0) is available for VS 2008, but it ships without offline help.

• There is a SO question about stand-alone documentation for various programming languages , but F # is not mentioned there at the time of this writing.

• There is, of course, Microsoft 's F # language reference documentation (available on MSDN) that can be downloaded for offline viewing using, for example, wget .

Question:

Does anyone know if any “official” autonomous documentation is ready in the near future?

(And related, even tough, it may be difficult to answer objectively: would it be reasonable to expect that F # will not pass ECMA or ISO standardization, that is, there probably will not be a standards document describing the language?)

Answer 1

It does not directly answer the question, but the F # language specifications are here:

• F # 3.0 ( PDF , HTML )

• F # 2.0 ( PDF , HTML )

These links are taken from the F # team blog post "Updated the F # language specification for F # 3.0 Now Available" .

Answer 2

Apparently this is now: https://github.com/Microsoft/visualfsharpdocs

I hope this can be easily converted to a Dash docset or there is a local solution for quick indexing and searching on the Internet.
