Always open in my editor is a tab with a text version of MySQL's manual (~100k lines in a readable layout), which is extremely helpful.
The version I have is very old (when 5.0 was still in beta), and this valuable text-file does not exist in mysql.com anymore.

Is there a newer version, or some tool that can create it out of the various existing formats?

On this page http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ they have documentation in several formats and languages. For example pdf, chm, html,manpages and eclipse doc format.

If you want text only you could take the "HTML Single page"-version and save it as plain text using your browser.

  • The html is unreadable as plain text. Do you know of an app that converts to text and preserves the paragraphs' layout? –  Sep 09 '09 at 20:38
  • Firefox saves the text with formatting. – Nifle Sep 09 '09 at 20:57
  • Firefox and IE both do a lousy job saving it as a text-file. Opera, on the other hand, generates a perfectly readable result. –  Sep 11 '09 at 15:25
