Compiling an external website to .chm using wget - html

There's a website, in particular http://thisquantumworld.com
It is a text-only site with inter-related links. I want to have the content on this site as reading material. I can(and I did) download the site as html using wget.
But, it would be good to have it as a .chm file. In that case, it will be easily redistributable too.
Can anyone suggest a way to download a website as .chm(maybe using wget)? I have no experience with .chm files and have no idea how do they work.

For such purpose (convert web-site to chm), I use Windows freeware tool Web2Chm.
It works perfectly, and I almost sure - it will work under the Wine in Linux too.
If you want to use only wget, I think your task can be solved using python scripts.

HTML pages of Jenkins

I'm working with jenkins for a while now and i'm thinking of building my own layout with jenkins .. I know there is a plugin that allows you to make your own css file.
But i was thinking further than that i'm more looking to change names of html attributes aswell and just use the Jenkins pages. Does anybody know where i can find the HTML pages of Jenkins to change it to my wanted code.
I already searched in the local folders of jenkins but couldn't find anything.
Kind regards
Dimitri
If your Jenkins application is deployed with Tomcat (for example), all css files are in the webapps/ROOT/css folder:
The js files are in the webapps/ROOT/scripts folder:
I hope it helps :)
Jenkins are shipped with a .war package. To change or customize jenkins html or css in order to change its looking, you need to change the source code or jenkins, that means you probably should be a jenkins developer. And a good thing for you is jenkins is a open source software, you can always get its code from Github
And I think this is what you are looking for, it includes the css/html of jenkins. Just a reminder, after you change the css/html of it, you should repackage it to the .war format before you can use it.

How to convert many HTML files to MediaWiki Pages on Windows?

I'm on Windows and I have an index.html in a folder and a huge set of html pages in subfolders.
How can I convert these html files to MediaWiki pages?
Check the Converting content from HTML text file section from the manual at mediawiki.org. Personally I would start with these two, and if that doesn't work I'd build something based on pywikibot. Any of these solutions can be made to work on Windows, though it is advisable to try it on Linux or OS X first, and if not install Cygwin.
You're unlikely to find any kind of streamlined GUI tool for such a specialized action. If you need more help with using the code available there you should hire a programmer or learn how to do it yourself.

Monodevelop, where can I download it?

I was trying to download Monodevelop for mac, but on the official page there is everything but a compiled and downloadable file.
I've read around other threads on different forum and apparently it is required to compile the source code. Is this really the case?
What other alternative may exist for Mac? I just need to dig into some source code, using references and jumping from code portion to others without using the search filter.
Thanks.
If you want a binary for Mac, you need to go to Xamarin's homepage and simply download Xamarin Studio.
Xamarin Studio is basically the same thing as MonoDevelop, the only difference is a bit of branding and the inclusion of 3 plugins for their proprietary development offerings, which you can ignore if you're not interested in developing for the mobile platform.

I want to transform xml into html and save the html. What is the easiest way?

I would like to use an xml file to create a html email. I can create an xsl file to convert it to html but I don't know how I can then save or copy the generated html. Obviously if I view the source of the xml file I just get the xml source, not the transformed html. What is the simplest or quickest way possible without me having to use Java or C# or anything like that? Is there a web service that can do it? I've googled but with no luck.
EDIT
If I have to do a bit of coding to do this then I could probably manage it in php, javascript, java, vbscript or possibly python. I'd be surprised if a tool to easily do what I want hasn't already been created and made available publicly though.
EDIT 2 - Solution found
I've discovered that clicking 'View generated source' in the Web Developer toolbar of Firefox shows me the html. This is all I need, I can then copy and paste this. I'd still be interested to hear if anyone has any better suggestions though...
What you probably need is an XSLT-Processor.
On most Linux machines xsltproc should be available at the commandline (or be easily installed with 'sudo apt-get install xsltproc').
On Windows msxsl should be the right commandline tool (I didn't test it).
You could create a WinForms app and drop a WebBrowser control on it, though I'm not sure if that will let you save the rendered page without any user interaction.

Downloading .net project from link

I found this site that has a link to a .Net project.
The link is to a folder structure.
How do I down load this project without SVN??
Is it specific SVN??
http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/nbdn_web_store/
Source Code
I would say that either you install svn (which is not a huge install), or you have a lot of clicking to do when you download each file separately using your web browser. Can't see any other alternatives, really.
install subversion and check out the file with e.g. the command
svn co http://svn2.assembla.com/svn/nbdn_web_store/trunk/ ndbn_web_store
First of all, I agree that installing svn is a good option.
If you don't want to do that (and don't like clicking tons of links to download each file) you can use an offline browser such as this one recommended by CNET
