Now with more UI

Original Editable version 2 of 2

This project makes the Arch Wiki accessible and portable. The existing arch-wiki-docs package is a simple unorganized dump of html files, while arch-wiki-lite goes a few steps further:

extremely fast search engine (with regex support and ranking)

console viewer (with highlighting of links and regex matches)

language filtering (with a summary of languages by page count)

1/9th the size

Arch-wiki-lite is designed to offer the smoothest possible experience for the poor person stuck without internet access or any way of starting a graphical web browser. Here is a sample run:

$ wiki-search suspend ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Select a wiki page: │ │ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Pm-utils │ │ │ │ Hibernate-script │ │ │ │ Power management │ │ │ │ Uswsusp │ │ │ │ Power management/Suspend and hibernate │ │ │ │ PulseAudio/Troubleshooting │ │ │ │ TuxOnIce │ │ │ │ Chrome OS devices │ │ │ │ Laptop/HP │ │ │ │ MacBook │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ < OK > <Cancel> │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Select an entry and it will pop up in less or $PAGER . If you don't have dialog installed then it will fall back on the old console UI:



$ wiki-search suspend Now choose a page with wiki-search [number] 0 Pm-utils 00002046 1 Hibernate-script 00002490 2 Power management 00001176 3 Uswsusp 00001711 [continues] $ wiki-search 1 [page #1 pops up in less or $PAGER]

By default wiki-search filters to the english-language pages, but all the other languages are there too: $ wiki-search --lang 2129 en 525 zh-CN 507 ru 427 es 356 it 158 cs 131 zh-TW 103 pt [continues] $ export wiki_lang="it" $ wiki-search xorg 0 it/AMD Catalyst 00000106 1 it/Xorg 00000009 2 it/NVIDIA 00000075 3 it/Touchpad Synaptics 00000112 [continues]

The results are sorted by how many times the search term was found in the page.

If you really like the local search but want to view the wiki pages in your browser, there is the wiki-search-html command. Other than how the page is rendered it operates exactly the same.
