I was wondering if there was a way to run just the documentation that is shipped with Houdini 16 release for offline viewing. There is a sort of server that runs and serves the pages, the pages themselves are under /opt/hfs16.0/houdini/help and /Applications/Houdini16.0.621/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/16.0.621/Resources/houdini/help/_index.txt on Mac.
Thing is they are in a sort of templating system (like Pug, Jinja or Jade) that compiles .txt files to HTML that is served on the fly by the server (these are my speculations, I am not sure).
So maybe if I know what templating system this is I can find a live server command line tool to serve those guys without having to launch Houdini, I use an old machine and I find it stupid to run Houdini just to read through the docs, and I am isolated far from civilization so online documentation is not an option.
Text looks like this:
