Archiving Delphi documentation
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/18
[WayBack] How can I search for Delphi documentation? – Stack Overflow explains how I’ve been searching Delphi documentation for almost a decade.
I love how Google Search filters can be used, and even mentioning “docwiki” or “docwiki delphi” usually narrows your search down to the official documentation.
However, since a while, [Archive.is] docwiki.embarcadero.com/robots.txt disallows older indexing by search indexes or archiving in the WayBack machine.
So with older Delphi versions, I tend to archive using Archive.is instead:
For the most recent Delphi version, I archive both the non-versioned link and the versioned link. Depending on the unit naming, these URLs can be used:
- [Archive.is] docwiki.embarcadero.com/VCL/en/SysUtils.EOutOfMemory
- [Archive.is] docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/en/System.SysUtils.EOutOfMemory
- Redirected to [WayBack] docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/Tokyo/en/System.SysUtils.EOutOfMemory at the time of writing this.
