The content can not be loaded because it mixes http with https content. I only see two empty frames.
The english grammar is freeware, you can use it freely - But it's not Open Source, i.e. you can not change it or publish it in altered way.

Doh, just click "unblock" icon on url bar, or another place (depend on your browser) it's safe content.

It's not a problem with adblock or similar addons. The problem is that the main site uses https but the included iframes use http. This is not allowed in normal browsers. It does not work in Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Edge and even IE 11 will not open the page. It also does not work on Chrome on Android.
But when I try to open http://purebasic.developpez.com/tutorie ... mentation/ instead I get redirected to the https version again.

I don't know which browser you are using but the link you provided should not work anywhere. :wink:

Of course I could allow my browser to open the content anyhow but that's not the solution because these security measures are not here for nothing.

On Chrome, Opera (and maybe other Chromium browsers) just click shield icon on the right side url navigation bar and allow content.
With firefox it's more tricky.

Works fine in the Brave Browser.

It is a very nicely presented document, looks comprehensive. If you search the French Forum, you might find mention of it there.

It's not that difficult to follow the French. Unfortunately Google Translate does not work with the chm format, but it does work with the Developpez.com website.

A nice article about PB and GDI+ by Denis (2009) Freak, Netmaestro and Einander get a mention.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

... If you launch the web page from the site (instead of directly) Google Translate does work with it.

You can ask them if they have the chm file available for download.

back in the day, we had free web-crawlers. you just had to provide a starting point (url) and a max-depth to follow links and oyu got everything in a neat offline package.
with the "always online" society, these tools were forgotton, it seems.

try to google for some tools. there is even a website that downloads from the "way back machine" if that helps
