API
The Allegro documentation comes in the source package. Once you finish the build process, you will end up with the documentation generated in html, rtf, text, texinfo, chm, PostScript, PDF or devhelp file formats, depending on your platform, installed build tools and make options. See the documentation for makefile targets which build special formats. Here, we host some popular versions of the generated documentation, and provide an online browseable version too.

Online Documentation and Source Browser -
The online version of the Allegro 3.12 and WIP docs, and various versions of the sources, provided by Štěpán Roh.
Allegro.cc's version of the manual -
Allegro's makedoc tool is not the only way to produce documentation. Matthew Leverton has created his own online version with a different style and URL functionality.
Remember that apart from Allegro's excellent manual, there is also a tutorial section with links to contributed documentation. And there are also written paper books which teach Allegro.
