Ruby on Rails Offline Documentation
If you’re working on a local Ruby on Rails project and want to access the Rails documentation offline, here is a great tip.
When you installed the Rails Gem, the complete Rails documentation was also installed on your system. To access it, you need to start the built-in Rails server named “Webrick” by going to a command prompt and typing gem_server. Next type http://localhost:8808 into your browsers address bar, and voila!

Thanks very much. I was looking for this information.
Ciao,

Cool, but how do I see everything at once like at api.rubyonrails.com? Also, not all of the [rdoc] strings on the page are links. Some are, but others are just black text.
This “documentation” is only for installed gems, and it’s not relly offline because it gives a web link to get details :-(
