Viewing the HTML versions
- Online: serve the
docs/folder as static files (e.g. Pages on Gitea or GitHub) and openmanual/manual.html. - Offline: download the
docs/folder and open the.htmlfiles in any browser (the styled manual works fully offline; the inheritance‑options page loads Mermaid from a CDN for the live diagram, and also ships a static SVG fallback).
The manual is the GitHub‑friendly edition of the official BAL PDF (bal_plugin_manual).
