hey folks,
as far as I understand the Sonic Pi reference documentation is only available in the internal help of the application. The tutorial is instead also available on the website.
After commenting on this discussion, I was motivated enough to try pulling it out and make it available outside of Sonic Pi. As a complete beginner to Sonic Pi I find much easier to have an external view to explore the docs and samples (imo the in-app help of SonicPi at FullHD resolution is slightly crammed into the GUI).
So I’ve spent some time hacking a script that - given a git checkout of the Sonic Pi code - will build a pure HTML version of the reference (synths, fx, samples, lang and examples). I’ve reached a state where it is good enough for me (
2023) so I’d like to gather comments and suggestions.
This unofficial HTML version of the reference documentation is available at: http://sonicpi.city17.xyz
If this experiment is getting traction I could be motivated to bring it to a state where I feel comfortable submitting a patch to the project. The ideal goal would be to merge my work upstream.
@samaaron what do you think? I will publish a fork of Sonic Pi soon but basically I’ve duplicated + modified the app/server/ruby/bin/qt-doc.rb and added a few static assets. This script can be easily plugged into the app/linux-pre-translations.sh, the build process of Sonic Pi will do the rest.
Thanks to @SunderB that prototyped something and inspired the idea (also borrowed some code from their website - thanks! 
)

happy hacking!
