The first thing I do when learning any piece of technology is putting all the docs into a mindmap, e.g. here is one I made the other day for Jinja2:

http://www.alexkrupp.com/Jinja%20docs.html

FreeMind .mm file: http://www.alexkrupp.com/Jinja%20docs.mm

Ideally the HTML of the Python docs should be structured in such a way that the all the built-in functions, string functions, regex functions, etc. can be dumped into a mindmap automatically each time the documentation is changed.




I like it! How did you create the jinja html? Did you first create the .mm and then export to html somehow? Or did you have to create it manually?


I created it manually using FreeMind. I basically just copied and pasted each section from the docs, and then grouped some of them together in logical ways to make it easier to read. I also deleted most of the usage notes about how previous versions worked, since I was starting with the newest so all of that was irrelevant to me.
