Is there a way to bring the wiki around with you on a portable storage device aside from going through the tedious route of saving every individual page?

A friend of mine tried out DF after looking through a couple of my forts and she was hooked. The problem is she doesn't have an internet connection and won't have one for a few weeks; and I don't want to be called and bombarded with questions like "How do I set up a military?" or "What are those squiggly lines trailing after my marksdwarf?" or "Why do my keep dwarves melting?"  or "If I dump enough blood and vomit into my moat will it fill up?".

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: I'll have to check what'd be the easiest and quickest way.

EDIT: This page could do the trick. I'm not 100% sure though. Check the categories you'll most likely need.

I spy HTTrack.  Maybe.

Some sort of modification on some really old browser prefetching tech might work, if it doesn't already exist.

I know I used something (Webcrawler?) briefly back in 1995/1996 or so to prefetch pages linked to the pages I was currently viewing, and you could configure it to pull data from the next layer of links as well, several link-layers deep.

This behavior on my part did not last long as I quickly realized how dangerous this was code-security-wise.  I also read a few horror stories about underage porn links and whatnot being downloaded by such programs and stored on the user's machines without them knowing about it until someone else found it...

If there's something like that still around, it might be worth looking at, but be careful and verify that it's limitable.
