GtkDialog Reference vanished from web [SOLVED]

Using Opera Presto I can't access the GtkDialog Reference (https://code.google.com/archive/p/gtkdialog ) anymore. The URL shows an error page.

I tried Palemoon and could reach an oddly formatted page. The GtkDialog Examples are still linked, but the - IMO much more important - Widget Reference contains keywords, but no links. Very odd. Unfortunately Webarchive has archived no snapshots.

I know that Google Code closed down, but I don't know how to access the previous content. Is it gone for good or can I access it somehow somewhere?

Edit: Corrected GTK to GtkDialog

You could download the Fatdog64 gtkdialog package, untar it in /tmp throw away the binaries and keep documentation and examples. It's the same as google code's file set, I believe.

I also forked gtkdialog on github

https://github.com/01micko/gtkdialog


EDIT

I just uploaded the reference pages with a quickly cobbled together index page.

Thanks to all.

Now that we have at least 3 identical forks at Github I wonder which one is the "right" one which will be maintained in the future.
Never mind, I fetched my copies of the HTML code from https://github.com/roma0104/gtkdialog/tree/master/doc/reference and keep them locally. Just in case the next server goes offline :wink:

Further to this, all the references were viewable in the github 'wiki' branch of gtkdialog.

There was a problem though. In the translation from googlecode to github the markdown left in (or put in) some erroneous html tags that caused the tables to not display correctly in github flavoured markdown.

I ran 'sed' over the all the files to delete the tags and it looks okay to me.

You can view the altered pages at https://github.com/01micko/gtkdialog/tree/wiki.

Let me know if any tables look broken or if you find that information is missing.
