Nice, and clear. But surely there is a link to an updated version, an
xz'd pdf?, IIRC the wikibooks entry shows a date in 2017.  I prefer to
print a hardcopy, and have a binder with the older version in it now.

Thank you Jordan.

Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.

I don't think there are "versions" of the wikibooks user manual.  It's a
living document and people edit it when they feel like it.

If you go to the main page of the user manual

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual

you'll find a box next to each of the two major sections ("User Manual"
and "Language Reference"), like so:

That "printable version" link leads to a page with the entire document
on one page:

https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Print_version
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/The_OpenSCAD_Language

and in turn from there you can generate a PDF - I think the location of
the link might vary depending on your Wikibooks preferences, but for me
it's toward the bottom of the long list of links in the right sidebar:

Is there such a critter?

Thank you.

For the record, the last time I generated a PDF of the entire BOSL2 docs, it was about 65MB in size and around 2100 pages long.

That, given the scope of BOSL2, would not surprise me.  That would take
a bit over 2 reams of paper and a 4 or 5" d-ring binder, probably made
of unobtainium locally.  Is it downloadable? Paper & toner are not a
problem.
