If you're talking about the documentation for library files, then it's
a mix. Some are in RD format, some are in RDoc format, and some are
not documented. A couple of us are trying to get them all into RDoc
format.
We've done enough of them now that it's worth pausing to make them
downloadable. That's what the recently-created stdlib-doc project is
for. There's nothing in the CVS at the moment, but if anyone wants to
help generate a web page that contains all the available
documentation, I'd really appreciate it.
What I'm aiming for is a web page that looks like a normal RDoc
webpage, except that there's an extra frame on the left side that
lists all the packages (benchmark, cgi, complex, csv, ...). When you
click one of those, the rest of the page shows the RDoc for that
package.
Also, there should be a "Conslidated" link that shows RDoc for all
packages combined.
When I get the project infrastructure set up, I'll put a task to this
effect on RubyForge and hope someone bites.
