Please explain ?

The documentation is available as PDF. That's human readable ?

You can check the actual state of documentation on the daily build:

The documentation is in gitlab, just as the rest of FPC:

https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/documentation

If you find errors in the documentation, the documentation bugtracker is also where you should report issues.

If you tried make to build the documentation, then I assume you downloaded the documentation
so you should be aware of the gitlab location. So why do you ask where to download it ?

Anyway: I suspect you tried this on windows ?

Building the documentation on windows is not supported, you need linux to build the documentation.
