PDF output
You can produce PDF versions of selected wiki content:
- For a single article:
- The "Download as PDF" print/export link (currently broken) produces a nicely formatted PDF.
- the "Print as PDF" link in the toolbox section of the left navigation sidebar prints the current page(s). Its output is not clean, however, and the "Printable version" option in the print/export section gives a better (non-PDF) result.
- For all the pages in a category, nice output comes from following the directions in the MediaWiki "PDF Book" page to set up URL links to invoke the output.
For example:
[http://wiki.sirius-software.com/index.php?title=Category:Janus_Sockets&action=pdfbook]
- For a set of pages you designate:
- Select the "Special pages" link in the toolbox section, then in the "Page tools" section, select the "PDF Export" link.
- Select the "Create a book" toolbox link, then select the articles you want to include in the generated PDF. and "Download as PDF" that let you select one or more wiki pages and generate a PDF file from them.
