1.3.13 Manual, Only HTML, No PDF?

I do my creative work on a new iMac with OS 10.6.8. I've installed Audacity Beta 1.3.13 on it.

I do my sit-back reading (including reading manuals) on a Windows netbook.

Is the 1.3.13 built-in Manual only HTML? No PDF?

In fact, the built-in Manual makes me go online, but I stay offline on the iMac as much as possible.

There are still changes being made to the manual as the final touches are being made to Audacity 1.3.x beta prior to the release of Audacity 2.0.
I would not expect a pdf version to be produced before Audacity 2.0 is released.

The Recommended Download for Audacity 1.3.x for Mac OS X should include the manual, however, if you don't have the manual, please see the first paragraph of the on-line manual for instructions for how to download and install a copy.

There are also several books about using Audacity: http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Books_about_Audacity

Thanks. Makes sense.

We'll add your vote for a PDF manual nonetheless as it help us gauge "demand". We had a script to extract PDF from the Wikicode the Manual is written in online but it became unsuitable.
