maybe a stupid question: but is there a means available in the OOo Wiki
to get renderings of whole chapters (e.g. "writer") with all
subchapters, such that one could create a hard-copy printout of it (to
be read while at vacation, in a restroom, etc.) that matches the old
PDF-developer guide?
We are working on it. I hope to have a test version available soon (no
specific date though... just soon).
The concept is to make it possible for anyone to build a custom
collection of Wiki pages into a book (either as a list of specific pages
or a list based on Wiki categories), and to provide some pre-made
collections (eg Dev Guide chapters, and/or the entire Dev Guide). The
collections could then be exported as PDF or even ODT.
A few options we are experimenting with:
- I blogged about one here:
http://blogs.sun.com/lebo/entry/who_isn_t_using_a
- A second possibility is this MediaWiki Extension set by PediaPress:
http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/wiki (this is the one I hope to have
available for testing soon).
The first option is already available on the OOoWiki, but not yet
working properly. You can find it here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Special:Wiki2XML The DocBook
segments do not yet work as I have not had a chance to install and
configure DocBook on the Wiki server. The ODF part fails (but can be
worked around) as described in the blog entry above.
So, definitely NOT a stupid question... a very good in in fact. :-) If
you or anyone else has any other ideas on how to do this... speak up.
