Generate docs markdown similar to ePub
Hi,
Oficial docs got this wonderful feature to download the ePub version that we can chuck to our kindles and read it. Now we are in the age of AI coding assistants and format like ePub is something LLMs do not like to see as context. What they do like is markdown, xml, json.
I propose in the similar fashion to ePub, to have a markdown version of the full docs of Phoenix and LiveView so the scrapers or manually can automatically and easily download the markdown to use as context for AI Coding tools.
Maybe some type of versioning and update daytime markers would be nice too.
Thanks

I had the same thought and your post pushed me to make a quick proof-of-concept:

For now, I don’t think Phoenix itself should do anything here. The ExDoc PR was already linked and there’s also https://hex2txt.fly.dev/.
