I needed a parsable copy of Intel's x86 instruction set documentation for a personal project, so I downloaded volumes 2A and 2B of the Intel® 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual (which can be found here and here, respectively), and used a online PDF-to-HTML tool to transform them to HTML files. Unfortunately, the result was beyond terrible and absolutely unusable.
They say that you're never better served than by yourself, so I took the matter into my own, pdfminer-gloved hands to extract HTML pages straight from the documentation PDF themselves.
This branch is experimental. Right now, it parses about 415 of the 470ish
instructions documented in Volume 2A and Volume 2B. Complex pages usually (but
not always) render better with this branch than the master branch, but not all
pages render. Be sure to check out the master branch if you want something
immediately usable.
The master documentation set can be found on this page.
As of now, these are the 46 instructions that do not parse at all:
- ADDSUBPD—Packed Double-FP Add/Subtract

- HADDPD—Packed Double-FP Horizontal Add

- HSUBPD—Packed Double-FP Horizontal Subtract
- HSUBPS—Packed Single-FP Horizontal Subtract
- MOVDDUP—Move One Double-FP and Duplicate
- MOVSHDUP—Move Packed Single-FP High and Duplicate
- MOVSLDUP—Move Packed Single-FP Low and Duplicate

- UNPCKHPD—Unpack and Interleave High Packed Double-Precision Floating-Point Values
- UNPCKHPS—Unpack and Interleave High Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values
- UNPCKLPD—Unpack and Interleave Low Packed Double-Precision Floating-Point Values
- UNPCKLPS—Unpack and Interleave Low Packed Single-Precision Floating-Point Values
- VBROADCAST—Broadcast Floating-Point Data
- VCVTPS2PH—Convert Single-Precision FP value to 16-bit FP value
- VPBROADCAST—Broadcast Integer Data
- VPERM2I128—Permute Integer Values
- VPERMILPD—Permute Double-Precision Floating-Point Values
- VPERMILPS—Permute Single-Precision Floating-Point Values
- VPERM2F128—Permute Floating-Point Values
Most fail because of one of these reasons:
- the page contains a framed figure and the script freaks out;
- the page contains a frameless figure and the script freaks out;
- the page contains framed and frameless figures and the script freaks out;
- some table lines are abnormally thick;
- some tables seem to be all right but the script still freaks out.
I'm working on that.
