[latexrefman-discuss] permission to incorporate latex docs into devdocs.io

[Alex Quinn]

Karl,

Thank you for the reply (and for continuing to maintain this project).

Where can I find the license statement?  I couldn't find it here:
- http://home.gna.org/latexrefman/

Do you agree that yours is the most complete unified LaTeX reference?  I
am still learning LaTeX, but I *think* this is the best choice.  So far,
Wikibooks, latex-project.org/guides, and sharelatex.com/learn have been
useful, but your docs are the only place I've found where one can enter
a command (e.g., \hfill) and quickly see what it does.

Once this is complete, a user will be able to type 'dd latex \hfill' or 
even just 'dd ltx hfil' to view the documentation about \hfill.

Why are \hbox and \vbox not included?  Since I'm new to LaTeX, I'm
guessing there may be some non-obvious reason (e.g., not technically
part of LaTeX, shouldn't be used directly, etc.) but I don't know.

DevDocs is open source (MPL).  The scrapers are here:
- https://github.com/Thibaut/devdocs/tree/master/lib/docs/scrapers

Their README mentions 'thor docs:download' as a command for updating.
However, I don't know how that works or what it accomplishes.

Thanks!

Alex
