Hi, is there anyway to generate the documentation for the std library locally? I want to be able to write a bunch of zig code for days at a time without having access to the internet. I tried saving the source of the the docs here, but it seems to all be segmented out into different pages:

[https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.13.0/std/#std](https://ziglang.org/documentation/0.13.0/std/#std)

Not 100% sure, but I think running `zig std` will generate the docs and doesn’t require internet access.

Don’t feel too bad; things change quickly!

The [release notes](https://ziglang.org/download/) are an efficient way to keep up to date.

@andrewrk I am stunned that the creator is responding to such a simple question that has even already been answered, just to try to make my life easier, this is how people can tell that Zig is going to be exceptional. Thank you for doing work that you care about
