Maybe there should be an easy way to generate HTML files because the docs are only available in .txt format.

Thomas, the docs in the download and the repo are in reStructuredText format, so they're readable as plaintext and can be transformed into other formats by docutils; that's actually how the HTML versions for the online documentation are generated. Take a look at the "build_documentation" script in the Django website code for an example: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/djangoproject.com/django_website/apps/docs/parts/build_documentation.py

Or, if you just want simplicity and no fancy formatting in the HTML output, see here for docs on ReST to HTML conversion:
The plaintext source is available in the distribution or SVN repository for offline reading; see the
docs/directory.
