docs.rs integration

[theli-ua]

Now that docs.rs has downloadable docs ( rust-lang/docs.rs#174 )
It would be great to support those as docsets ( which is also a wip feature of dash according to comments on that issue )

Can this be closed out now? The upstream issue is closed. I see a Rust docset available.

As far as I'm aware no docs.rs integration is available in Zeal. "Rust" docset is separate from this

[hhartzer]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for explaining!

To give a little more context here:
Dash released the new feature for rust crate docsets in dash 7, and it works seamlessly.

The offline docs download "just" gives you the build output we already have. There is some preprocessing needed to convert this into a docset, I tried to add some explanation on the site itself: https://docs.rs/about/download .

I assume the crate-search itself in Dash where you select the crate & version itself is using the crates.io search API.

I'm happy to answer any questions about this, I would love to see offline docs.rs docs in zeal too.

Coming from Dash, support for docs.rs is the one thing I miss.
