Is it possible to make a PDF or an offline version?
Sometimes i like to read these sort of things while i'm on the train etc.
I struggled to get the current rust book working on my ipad on the train without signal.

Since we're concentrating on getting the text ready for print, we haven't been able to get pdf/offline reading working yet. https://github.com/rust-lang/book/issues/218
Also, while the top right one has a tooltip, the two top left ones don't so you have to click to find out what they do. Always a risky move!
Eventually we'll provide a PDF of this, but the HTML should work offline. This edition might need some tweaks first; it's a priority for me though.
Ah... I see. You have to run "rustup component list" and it'll print out a whole bunch of things that you can install like cargo and rustc and 44 different versions of std and also somewhere in there the docs. And then you have to know that that the thing you have to pass to "rustup component add" is not the string you get out of "rustup component list" (something like "rust-docs-armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf") but in fact just "rust-docs". And none of this seems documented anywhere in the help text in rustup itself, at least not the 1.0.0 version that I have.
