I don’t understand how you don’t understand that that’s always an option. Rust source files are written in plaintext too.

There are a few people in this thread, including you, who claim that they vastly prefer the output of documentation to be plain text in a single file rather than linked HTML files OR reading the source in multiple plaintext files.

That’s a preference, so y’all can’t be wrong. But consider that if this preference was even slightly popular, cargo doc would probably get a —-text option that output everything in a single text file. The fact that it doesn’t have it tells me that this preference is very niche.
