Not by default, anymore[0], as I found out when I wanted to read the book offline.

To set up offline documentation, do:

  rustup component add rust-docs # One-time thing
  

Now to open the docs in a browser, do one of:

  rustup doc
  rustup doc --api
  rustup doc --book

The second and third forms open up the API documentation and the book, respectively. Bookmark for one-click access.
