Documentation as PDF
We provide PDF docs suitable for offline reading.
- For the current mDIS version 3, documentation is available as a single PDF File (opens new window), over 600 pages, automatically-generated. Thus, PDF-Internal Hyperlinks do not work though.
- For a previous mDIS release (version 2), an older PDF file, created 2020-06-21, is also still available: mDIS v2 User Documentation (opens new window). Simpler, shorter, may contain outdated information.
