Using wget to create offline copies of Google API docs
Raw
google-api-docs-offline.md

I've used this in the past to grab offline copies of some of the Google API docs.

$ wget --no-parent --recursive --page-requisites --html-extension --convert-links "http://code.google.com/apis/gears/"

# --no-parent - Don't fetch anything in the parent directory of the URL specified
# --page-requisites - Download everything required for the page to display correctly
# --recursive - Recursively download (use default depth of 5)
# --html-extension - Add .html to downloaded html files (this isn't necessarily required for the google code example but might be useful on other sites)
# --convert-links - Update links in the downloaded document to point to, either the downloaded copy of a file or a full URL
