Working Offline

Working offline

Editing the site offline requires a web server for the links to resolve. Without it, things like style sheets and JavaScript can (and most likely will) fail. The easiest way to resolve this is to use a local web server. Since many of us are using Python for general tooling anyway, use the integrated modules to serve the site using cmd on Windows, or a terminal on other platforms. (This assumes Python is in your path.)
