I did not know that! But it explains why selecting blocks of text works fine on
some docs and terribly on others. Is there a list somewhere of which tools
support this?

So is HTML :) Apple’s DocSets are basically HTML. Actually packaging them as
ePub would be great since then they could be easily imported into readers like
iBooks.

FYI, another plug for Dash, which can display Apple docs with a UI that’s 1e6
