ri request

[Chris Morris]

I'd love to see things like the sprintf, Time.strftime, etc.
flag/fields/directives tables available in ri or some other cmdline
dealy. Anyone already got something like this? Anyway this could make it
into ri, Dave?

You can use RImport[0] to add RDoc'ed files into ri. Results, of
course, depend on the quality (and existence) of code comments.

Several files have been rimported into the online ri[1] at
ruby-doc.org, e.g.:

[url]http://www.ruby-doc.org/find/ri/Time[/url]

BTW, I found some formaatting bugs in rimport and hope to have the fixes
available soon.

this page is something wonderful.
could we hope to see a packaged version of ri+imported files?

I know that I could run rdoc+rimport on my ruby tree by myself, but
having a click'n'run pkg would be cute :)

I'm working on this and will hopefully have something released soon.
My main focus is including "extra" docs in ri, like Matrix, Set, etc.

Cheers,
