Generate a docset for Zeal/Dash

FEATURE REQUEST

Would it be possible to generate a docset for plotly for the Dash/Zeal offline docset viewing platform? The procedure is described here and is supposed to be quite simple.

This is a good idea but not something the maintainers have any bandwidth for at the moment... That said, this is probably something someone from the community could maintained a satellite project :)

The documentation source code is in the doc directory as is the makefile that converts it into HTML suitable for embedding within the plotly.com/python CMS.

If the developer team generates the docset it can be made natively available in the program. That being said, user-contributed docsets are not very difficult to load up. If anyone is willing to make the docset this thread may be useful to them.

Cool. I can't commit to keeping any "official" docset up to date at the moment beyond what's at plotly.com/python, so it seems like a community-maintained one is the right way to go here :)

I tried it but ran into multiple issues building the API doc. #3543

I was wondering if I could download the api doc html files somewhere (something like scikit-learn), and I could try to convert it into a dash docset.

Also ran into issues trying to create offline API doc with doc2dash 3.0.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 #2060, spent a few hours on the whole ordeal on it and gave up. I was able to run make html but the result was not directly compatible with doc2dash, it seems.

It would be incredibly neat if someone could figure out how to create a docset, doc2dash should make the process simpler, in theory. It would enable having a streamlined offline documentation build.

Hi - we are trying to tidy up the stale issues and PRs in Plotly's public repositories so that we can focus on things that are still important to our community. Since this one has been sitting for a while, I'm going to close it; if it is still a concern, please add a comment letting us know what recent version of our software you've checked it with so that I can reopen it and add it to our backlog.

I think it's still an issue, since web document is not quite stable in my side.
