Off-line help

Norbert Vischer-2
I wonder to which level off-line help is possible for those cases where I am not connected to the Internet.
I am frequently using macro functions, and have a local version of functions.html. However, already the next level (e.g. urls to example macros) does not work, because many links point to imagej.nih.gov/...
My favorite solution would be a single downloadable "offline help" zipped directory that a) indicates to which depth the links are reachable offline, possibly including some of the sample pictures, and b) has a version number or date so I know when to refresh.

A rather awkward method would be to replace all imagej.nih.gov/... occurences in functions.html by local addresses, and copy the referenced example macros to the corresponding local location. But it would be much better if I only would have to download a single zip file and change somewhere a "Local Help" address.

Any ideas?

If you're using firefox, then the flashgot extension may be able to help
you download the entire html tree.
