the c standard working draft documents are only available in a hard to handle pdf format http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/documents this project provides plain text and html versions of the c99 and the c1x standards the conversion is done using pdftotext -layout with some cleanups, see translit.sh and tohtml.sh scripts the html version is best viewed in a 120 char wide terminal with terminal based browser (original text layout is used, structuring the text properly would take considerable amount of effort) features: internal links one page, easy to grep ascii only text unfortunately some information is lost/garbled (most notably mathematical notations around floating point specs, and diff marks wrt previous standards)
