Are you talking about Peter's user-friendly user guide. That is in the
zsh-web git repository in Guide/zshguide.tar.gz. That contains Yodl
source files dated 17 May 2014. The current web site probably gives it
too much prominence given it is unmaintained. There have been one or
two occasions where someone has posted corrections to it to the list and
they've either been ignored or applied direct to the HTML.

Paul Falstad's "An Introduction to the Z Shell" is Doc/intro.ms in
original source form for troff. It's not a bad document and processing
it to HTML could be worthwhile.
