JΛ̊KE

          I got the downloads for both libxml2 and libxslt from official sites.But there is no proper documentation on how to install them in windows environment.I didn't find sufficient information anywhere in the articles too.

Regards

Index of /sources/win32 or Index of /sources/win32/64bit

You unzip/un7z and copy to a directory in your path. Just like you would install anything manually.

          I have done the same way.I copied the unzipped folders(both libxml2 and libxslt) to project root path.But there is no difference.

Not the whole folder, just the bin folder’s contents.

Make sure you have the right one for your OS!!!

You may get better answers to these non-jQuery questions on stack overflow.

Did you get the Windows binaries, and follow the complicated instructions for installing them?

If you just want offline documentation, you might try Velocity, which can give you offline documentation for just about anything. I can't vouch for it, as I use Dash on macOS, but the author of Dash recommends Velocity for Windows users.

Few serious software developers use Windows - unless writing software for Windows!

You may find it useful to install a Linux VM on your Windows computer. You can use VMWare, or a free solution like VirtualBox. It would be much easier then to install these libraries that were designed for Unix/Linux systems (macOS is a variant of BSD Unix) than to go through the gyrations needed to install them on Windows.

Once you've built it, you'll need an instance of WordPress to run it on.

Sure you don't want to try a simpler approach, like Velocity?

Sad news today for users of Dash, though. It was pulled from the App Store today. The developer tried to migrate his account from a personal one to a corporate one, and Apple balked at something or another, claiming "fraudulent activity". There's an active discussion on Slashdot. Speculation is either the new company name (the author hasn't mentioned what it is) is too close to another company  (Dash Labs, Inc.) that makes completely unrelated software, or else competitor stuffing fake reviews in order to make the author look bad. (Unfortunately, a lot of this nonsense goes on, and they are CLEVER. Instead of stuffing bad reviews about your competition, stuff GOOD reviews about your competition, to make it look like your competitor is cheating!)

Dash for macOS is still available for direct download. Dash for iOS is no longer available, at least for now.

I think too many software developers are dependent on Dash for this to go unfixed. Apple is going to get an earful! I find Dash handy, and really great if you are working on an airplane, etc. A colleague uses it when working from his sailboat!

Thanks again.
