Any hope for a CHM version ?

Unlikely, as CHM is a proprietary format, and rather obscure outside of the Windows ecosystem.

I'm against putting more work on the shoulders of the LÖVE devs that isn't related with getting love 0.7 out. The zipped html not only *is* cross platform, but it also liberates the team for making other more important tasks.

As a side note, there are tools out there that transform html into chm. I haven't tried them. Nothing transforms html into man pages automatically, so that is a no-no IMHO.
When I write def I mean function.

Only thing that could top this in my opinion is a pdf with proper tags and stuff. I'd attempt to do it, but to be honest I think I should be spending more time getting to grips with Löve, just as someone mentioned the devs should be focussing on their own work.

I bet I'm the only person that would like a pdf format anyway.

It'd be sweet to have a little löve cheat sheet! I'm sure it would be easy enough to export any PDF to html so that it could go up on the website as well. I fully endorse this sweet PDF idea.

The reverse is simpler.
